Responsibilities/Job Description

Are you looking to make an impact on the physical, emotional and cultural needs of pediatric patients and their families? Join our team as an RN on the Pediatric Med/Surg IMC unit at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital! Our compassionate, innovative approach has repeatedly received national recognition. In 2024 we were nationally ranked on U. S. News & World Report’s annual “Best Children’s Hospitals” list. It is our 17th year in a row on this premier national list, a recognition of the dedication and expertise of our extraordinary teams! We are proud to be the only academic children’s hospital in Minnesota, providing medical services in more than 50 specialty areas.

Located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, we deliver a broad range of pediatric programs from surgery, imaging and neonatal and pediatric intensive care to cardiac.

We have 24 beds on the unit and patients range from infants to young adults. The challenge of critical care nursing is best experienced in this intermediate care unit (IMC) where nurses care for patients with complex, multi-system health issues.
