  The World’s Most Dedicated Never Give Up
  
  Think of what you could achieve if the best possible care was all that mattered. If you had the encouragement and opportunity to truly bond with the patients in your care. And if you could collaborate with the world’s brightest scientists, in a bench-to-bedside environment that put you on the leading edge of clinical breakthroughs for children with cancer, sickle cell, and other life-threatening diseases. It’s possible at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. As a clinical professional with us, you’ll be part of a team that gives our all to make a difference in the lives of patients with the rarest of conditions. All while receiving the resources and support you need to advance your career and be the force behind the cures.

  St. Jude is looking for a Pediatric Oncology Nurse for our Ambulatory Care Unit. As a Clinic Nurse in our Ambulatory Care Unit: Acute Care Clinic, you’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary healthcare team that serves on the frontlines of our patients’ care. Our three-bed Acute Care Clinic plays a critical role at St. Jude, serving patients from across the hospital who are unscheduled in our ACU, but require immediate attention for urgent or emergent fever, pain, and medical reactions. Because of the unique and variable nature of our clinics, you’ll have the opportunity to utilize every clinical skill in your toolbox, thinking critically and collaborating daily with your team—made up of two nurses and a provider--to triage and treat our patients.

  
  Here at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we set the standard of the very best of patient care, and we encourage applicants whose aspirations match the caliber of our work. If you’re adaptable, communicative and quick on your feet, and are an uncompromising champion of quality work, we’d love to have you apply.
