Nursing and the Patient Care Services team members at Rady Children’s are provided with various opportunities to further their professional nursing practice, collaborate and develop professionally while achieving optimal patient outcomes.

Behind each of these moments is the commitment to learn more, improve outcomes and empower individuals to seek innovative solutions. We are transforming the role of the caregiver, and in that transformation, we are partners in advancing the quality of care. Every day, we look for new pathways.

It is a Journey of Excellence.

It’s not just caring about children that make our nursing staff so special. It’s the magic. Our dedication to specialized training and sensitivity is perfected by caring for children 100% of the time. Rady Children’s is designed, equipped and staffed just for kids. As the region’s only pediatric trauma center, we care for children with the most severe medical emergencies to those with mild illnesses.

Honoring the past, recognizing the present, and looking to the future, we celebrate the remarkable milestones achieved by our nursing professionals. From groundbreaking advancements in patient care to unwavering support for our families, nurses exemplify the very essence of what makes Rady Children’s a leader in pediatric health care.
