Have you ever wanted to try something new in nursing?  You can use your adult ICU skills or pediatric acute care skills to help care for critically ill pediatric patients in one of the top Children's Hospitals in the nation.  We have specialized ICU orientations for nurses who have current adult ICU or CTICU experience and want to learn to work in an advanced Pediatric ICU setting.  We welcome you to bring your career to an environment where talent is rewarded and new ideas are encouraged. At Seattle Children's, the Pacific Northwest’s premier pediatric care center, we offer more than just state-of-the-art facilities and open career growth potential. You will also find a true commitment to our patients and families that reach far beyond the bounds of clinical expertise.

The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a 16-bed unit quaternary care referral center for 4 states that cares for patients from 45 weeks corrected gestational age up to young adults. The PICU patients have a number of interesting conditions including septic shock, solid organ transplant (liver, intestine, and kidney), advanced bone marrow transplant, neurosurgery and other pediatric surgeries. Specialized care provided in the PICU includes ECMO/ECLS (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation/Extracorporeal Life support), continuous renal replacement therapy, liver dialysis, nitric oxide and ICP monitoring. The PICU RN staff  work closely with respiratory therapists, nutritionists, social workers, pharmacists and physicians to care for these critically ill children. The brand-new unit has a physical environment made of mostly single rooms with a parent space (including a place to sleep in the room) and allows families to be present and partner in the care of their child. Seattle Children's also offers superior staffing ratios in our critical care departments.
