At Children's Medical Center

Why be a nurse at Children's Medical Center?

Why should you choose Children's as a place to work? Here's what nurses have to say about their experiences working at Children's.

"I work in a very rewarding atmosphere where I can not only grow professionally, but I am appreciated by my peers, patients and physicians. I work alongside the doctors, and I am given the opportunity every day to make a difference in the life of a child and his or her family.

"I am presently pursuing my master's degree, and Children's has not only supported me financially, but also with their flexibility. This illustrates that they really want their employees to succeed and grow in their profession."

-- Virginia Bledsoe, RN, BSN; inpatient hematology/oncology team leader; 5-year employee

"I love the kids. I always knew I wanted to be in pediatrics, so the opportunity to come to Children's was just a godsend. I think the care we give our patients here and our standards here are so much higher than at other facilities I've been involved with. I appreciate the people I work with and how closely we all get to work with one another. Also, the bonds we form with the patients and their families are really rewarding."

-- Sofia Darling, general pediatrics RN; employee for almost three years
