Welcome From Jackie Gonzalez, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer

Welcome to the special world of pediatric nursing at Miami Children's Hospital (MCH), the only free-standing hospital in South Florida that is exclusively for children. Here, we offer careers in pediatric nursing that are never routine, always challenging and extremely rewarding.

Most recently, Miami Children's Hospital (MCH) received "Magnet" designation- the nursing profession's highest national honor - from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). MCH is the first free-standing pediatric facility in both Florida and the Southeast to achieve this designation. Nationwide, it is only the fifth pediatric hospital to receive Magnet designation. Magnet designation recognizes the MCH nursing staff for meeting the rigorous quality indicators and standards of nursing practice as defined by the American Nurses Association's Scope and Standards for Nurse Administrators. These include an environment that fosters nursing research, staff involvement and innovation in practice, a clinical ladder and an environment which supports teamwork and collegiality. Our nursing staff works as a team, like no other, to put children first.

We can offer you a career with a difference… all in a place where you can make a lasting impression in the life of a child each and every day. You can help smiles supplant tears and bring laughter where there was fear. Nothing compares to receiving a smile or a hug from a child and seeing them get better.

Miami Children's Hospital is committed to advancing the understanding and practice of patient and family-centered care. At Miami Children's Hospital you are an integral part of the care team in an environment, supportive of the nurse. It is our goal to recruit and retain top staff and as such, we deliver...

Extraordinary care…by extraordinary people.

Miami Children's Hospital has also made an organizational commitment to our employees to be an "Employer of Choice" in South Florida. As a part of that commitment, we offer a package of attractive benefits such as tuition reimbursement, flexible scheduling, reward/incentive programs, on-site child care, banking, fitness, pharmacy, optical shop and dry cleaning services.
