Adventist Health- Sierra Vista
Mid Level
Step into a deeply rewarding opportunity as a Pediatric Registered Nurse in California’s beautiful Central Coast, where the care you provide to children makes a lasting difference and every shift brings new chances to grow. In San Luis Obispo, you’ll blend expert clinical practice with a vibrant coastal lifestyle, supporting families as they navigate pediatric care—from routine wellness to complex care coordination. This is more than a travel assignment; it’s a chance to influence young lives while exploring one of the state’s most beloved regions, with vistas of sea, hills, and the charm of small-town living. If you’re drawn to a role that honors clinical excellence and compassionate connection, this pediatric RN position is for you. And for those who love to explore, there can be opportunities to continue across varied locations in the United States, expanding your professional horizon while maintaining the impact you’ve set out to make. Start date is 02/23/2026, with a schedule designed for ongoing, impactful placements across weeks, providing you the flexibility to plan ahead while delivering consistent pediatric specialty care.
Working in San Luis Obispo offers a unique blend of professional rigor and enviable quality of life. The Central Coast environment supports a balanced routine—imagine mornings near the beach, afternoons in the clinic or hospital, and evenings enjoying local farms, farmers markets, and scenic hikes along the coastline. The broader California landscape—mellow seaside towns, redwood-studded inland areas, and world-class wine regions—provides limitless opportunities for weekend adventures and cultural enrichment. For nurses who value professional variety, there’s also the potential to extend your journey into other U.S. locations, enriching your clinical portfolio with diverse pediatric populations, hospital settings, and interdisciplinary teams. You’ll gain exposure to different patient populations, hospital protocols, and care pathways, all while maintaining the stability of a dedicated clinical framework and a supportive travel partner by your side.
In this role, you will deliver comprehensive pediatric nursing care across inpatient or outpatient settings, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and case managers to ensure safe, evidence-based care plans. Core responsibilities include performing pediatric assessments, vitals monitoring, medication administration, IV therapy, wound care, and triage for acute symptoms. You’ll participate in discharge planning, family education, nutrition counseling, pain management, and age-appropriate patient advocacy. You’ll document meticulously in electronic health records, communicate changes in patient status to the care team, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that enhance patient outcomes. The position also presents opportunities for professional growth within pediatrics—whether pursuing advanced certifications, mentorship roles, or leadership responsibilities on care teams. The role emphasizes evidence-based practice, compassionate communication with families, and the ability to adapt to varied pediatric subspecialties, from general pediatrics to acute care scenarios, while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and infection control.
Benefits are designed to support your professional journey and your personal well-being. You’ll receive competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,883 to $1,983, reflecting the value you bring to pediatric care. In addition to financial compensation, the opportunity includes housing assistance to simplify transitions, and the potential for sign-on or completion bonuses that recognize your commitment to specialized pediatric care. We also offer extension opportunities, allowing you to build continuity with teams you trust and to deepen your expertise within a supported framework. A cornerstone of our program is comprehensive 24/7 support for traveling clinicians—your dedicated coordinator and clinical operations team are always available to troubleshoot, coordinate schedules, arrange accommodations, and assist with any clinical or logistical needs, so you can focus on delivering exceptional pediatric care.
Our company is grounded in values that empower staff and foster an environment where careers advance with intention. We prioritize professional development through continuous education, access to scholarly resources, and structured pathways that encourage nurses to broaden their scope within pediatrics. You’ll join a collaborative community that respects feedback, supports clinical autonomy, and celebrates the strengths each RN brings—from critical thinking and technical skill to the empathy that makes pediatric care truly family-centered. The culture emphasizes mentorship, teamwork, and mutual respect, with leadership committed to your growth, well-being, and long-term career satisfaction. You’ll be part of a network of healthcare professionals who share a client-centered mindset, a bias for safety, and a passion for mentoring the next generation of pediatric nurses.
If you’re ready to apply, this is your invitation to join a company that values your expertise and your development as a pediatric nursing professional. Bring your clinical excellence, your curiosity, and your dedication to compassionate care, and you’ll find a role that not only advances your career but also lets you revel in the beauty of California’s coast and the broader opportunities across the United States.
