UT MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children's Hospital are partnering to create the Kinder Children's Cancer Center, a joint program focused on advancing pediatric cancer care. As this partnership progresses, pediatric patient care and operations will transition over time. The timing of this transition is subject to change and a definitive transition date has not yet been established. For the foreseeable future, this position will support the Department of Pediatrics and provide services to our pediatric patient population. As the transition to the Kinder Children's Cancer Center progresses, the responsibilities and work assignment associated with this position are expected to change. MD Anderson's current plan is to retain employees hired into these positions and transition them to other areas of the institution as pediatric operations evolve. While every effort will be made to place employees in another appropriate area within MD Anderson, the specific department, work assignment, responsibilities, schedule, and other details of any future assignment cannot be determined at this time and cannot be guaranteed. Candidates should understand that this position is being recruited to meet the current needs of Pediatrics, with the expectation that the employee's assignment may change in the future as part of this institutional transition. Join MD Anderson's Pediatrics team as a Clinical Nurse and provide compassionate, specialized care to children and their families throughout their cancer care journey. You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team focused on delivering safe, evidence-based care while helping patients and families navigate complex healthcare needs at one of the world's leading cancer centers. What's in it for you? You'll have the opportunity to build your pediatric nursing expertise while managing patient care across the continuum. You'll assess patient needs, collaborate with physicians and other care team members, administer medications and treatments, manage emergencies, and use clinical technology to support high-quality care. You'll also contribute to research by integrating evidence into practice and participating in data collection for current studies. Beyond direct patient care, you'll serve as a patient and family advocate, helping ensure continuity of care through education, discharge planning, and coordination of services. You'll also have opportunities to train, coach, and support fellow team members, helping strengthen both patient outcomes and the effectiveness of the care team. At MD Anderson, you'll also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including competitive pay, an annual merit increase program, annual incentive opportunities, an employer-funded pension contribution, medical/dental/vision coverage, generous paid time off, and opportunities for professional growth and development.
