Who they are
Nemours Children's Health is one of the largest integrated pediatric health systems in the United States, distinguished as the only children's health system in the country with two freestanding children's hospitals — one in Wilmington, Delaware and one in Florida.
The system cares for over 544,000 children annually across 70+ locations in 6 states, backed by the Nemours Foundation. Nemours goes beyond traditional medicine, addressing education, food, housing, family stability, and emotional well-being as part of their 'Whole Child Health' approach. The organization also maintains a strong academic and research presence, with 300+ active research projects and clinical trials, and trains nearly 2,500 residents, fellows, and medical students each year. For nursing professionals, Nemours offers opportunities in specialized pediatric care environments. The Wilmington, Delaware campus includes a Cardiac Center providing comprehensive care for infants, children, and adolescents with cardiac, thoracic, and vascular disease, with current openings for CICU registered nurses on night shifts (36 hr/wk, 7p–7:30a).
Nemours' mission is to help children everywhere grow into healthy adults. They believe every child deserves the healthiest start in life and every family deserves care they can trust. Their 'Whole Child Health' philosophy addresses physical, emotional, and social well-being, going 'beyond medicine' to encompass education, food, housing, family stability, and emotional wellness. The organization's IDEA (Inclusion, Development, Experience, and Alignment) framework drives cultural transformation, aiming to build a 'Healthiest Workforce' where every associate feels valued, developed, and aligned to advance pediatric health outcomes.
