Job Description

Clinical Mentor RN – Be the Nurse Who Grows Other Nurses!

Are you a seasoned nurse with a passion for guiding others? Do you love seeing the “aha!” moment when everything clicks for a new nurse? If you're ready to inspire, support, and lead the next generation of caregivers, then this role is made for you!

We’re looking for a Clinical Mentor (CM) — a confident, compassionate, and experienced RN who knows how to walk the talk. You’ll work side-by-side with novice nurses, mentoring them through their first steps into clinical practice and helping them grow into strong, competent professionals.

What You’ll Do

• Be a role model and mentor for new nurses — sharing real-world knowledge, support, and encouragement.
• Guide them through competency development using evidence-based practice and clinical expertise.
• Jump in on the floor as a bedside RN to support mentorship, assessments, and team coverage.
• Provide feedback, coaching, and hands-on skills development in the moment.
• Work closely with nursing leadership, clinical education, and other teams across the organization — sometimes traveling to make it happen.
• Balance mentorship with real-time patient care — this is a hands-on clinical role, not a desk job.
  
  

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
• Current Missouri RN license
• Valid BLS and ACLS certifications
• At least 3 years of recent full-time experience in your clinical specialty
• Strong computer skills (EMR + Microsoft Office Suite)
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities
• Flexibility to adapt to shifting priorities — and sometimes work evenings or weekends to support nurse residents
• Must work at the bedside at least 12 hours every 6 weeks to maintain clinical sharpness (and during a staffing crisis, possibly more)
  
  

Bonus Points (Preferred)

• RN certification in education or your specialty area
• Additional instructor certifications (such as BLS or ACLS instructor)
  
  

Why This Role Rocks

• You get to make a lasting impact on someone’s nursing journey.
• You’ll stay clinically active while stepping into a leadership-lite role.
• Work with a passionate education team and collaborate across departments.
• It’s rewarding, dynamic, and never boring — mentorship with meaning!
  
  

Ready to share your passion and experience to build up the future of nursing? Let’s grow greatness, together.
