It's all possible at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. As a clinical professional with us, you'll be part of a team that gives our all to make a difference in the lives of our patients.

As a Nursing Professional Development Practitioner, you'll help prepare St. Jude nurses to provide high quality care through development, facilitation, and promotion of professional development programs including educational responsibilities for several outpatient clinics and our student management program, all with a high standard of excellence expected of all St. Jude professionals. Alongside a tight-knit team of other nursing professional development practitioners, you'll serve as a learning facilitator, mentor, and an invaluable part of the nursing leadership team, connecting St. Jude nurses with the support, skills, and savvy they need to provide the best-in-class service for which St. Jude is known. Here at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we set the standard of the very best of patient care, and we encourage applicants whose aspirations match the caliber of our work.
