At Kays Healthcare, you will have the opportunity to provide meaningful one-on-one nursing care and develop lasting relationships with children and their families. Our goal is to support our nurses with clear clinical expectations, ongoing communication, and a commitment to safe, high-quality pediatric care.

If you are an experienced pediatric RN who values compassionate, family-centered care and wants to make a difference in a child's life,

Kays Healthcare LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

I think this is much closer to what you need for LinkedIn: professional enough to represent Kays Healthcare, but it doesn't read like the regulatory job description you submitted for PT53 approval. Most importantly, the 3-year clinical/1-year recent pediatric requirement is prominent, which should help screen out applicants who don't meet your PT53 RN qualification requirement.
