Descrição da vaga

Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children is Hawai'i’s only full-service children’s specialty hospital and the state’s only maternity, newborn, and pediatric specialty hospital. Widely recognized as Hawai'i’s leader in the care of women, infants, and children, the 253-bed, not-for-profit medical center delivers over 5,000 babies each year and serves as a major teaching and research facility. Kapi'olani is recognized for its expertise in caring for high-risk pregnancies, with a team of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physicians who provide specialized care for mothers and babies facing complex medical conditions. Kapi'olani is home to Hawai'i’s largest and most advanced Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the state’s only Pediatric Congenital Heart Program, and Hawai'i’s only pediatric bone marrow collection and transplant program, where approximately 95% of patients participate in clinical trials. In 2025, Kapi'olani’s Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplant Program earned accreditation in cellular therapy from the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB), recognizing the program’s commitment to meeting rigorous national standards for quality and patient care. The hospital is also home to Hawai'i’s only dedicated breast health and gynecologic cancer centers and was the first facility on O'ahu to be designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. Since 1984, Kapi'olani has been Hawai'i’s only Children’s Miracle Network hospital and has earned numerous national recognitions, including Gold Level Center of Excellence designation from ELSO, top-tier national patient experience rankings, Joint Commission reaccreditations, Level 3 Pediatric Trauma Center and Level 1 Children’s Surgical Verification recertifications from the American College of Surgeons, and the 2025 Starlight Children’s Foundation Hospital of the Year Award. More than 1,400 employees and over 700 physicians provide exceptional care through specialty programs including the Kapi'olani Women’s Center, Women’s Cancer Center, Kapi'olani Child Protection Center, Sex Abuse Treatment Center, and numerous pediatric specialty clinics, serving families throughout Hawai'i and the Pacific.

The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) provides comprehensive, family-oriented care for all young patients to optimize health and well-being. The department provides clinical intervention to the pediatric patient requiring intensive care or advanced pediatric (step down) care, while simultaneously supporting patients and families through the Intensive Care experience. Services are available for pediatric patients with the most acute medical requirements, including the risk of organ failure and those who require continuous monitoring such as life support therapy, invasive monitoring and other critical care measures.

This opportunity is for the experienced registered nurse who would like to transition to a new area of specialty or for the new graduate nurse who would like to pursue becoming a Pediatric Intensive Care nurse. This program is designed to create an environment which provides the experienced and new nurse support through the transition process from student, to novice, to advanced beginner, to independent practitioner. The program will be 20 weeks in duration and will require a two-year work commitment upon successful completion. There will be no time away (PTO) allowed or granted during the program. Participants must be available for rotation to night shift and any shift length (4, 8, 10 or 12 hours) for the duration of the training.
