Do you love seeing the “aha!” moment when everything clicks for a new nurse? If you're ready to inspire, support, and lead the next generation of caregivers, then this role is made for you!
We’re looking for a Clinical Mentor (CM) — a confident, compassionate, and experienced RN who knows how to walk the talk. You’ll work side-by-side with novice nurses, mentoring them through their first steps into clinical practice and helping them grow into strong, competent professionals.
What You’ll Do:Be a role model and mentor for new nurses — sharing real-world knowledge, support, and encouragement.
Guide them through competency development using evidence-based practice and clinical expertise.
Jump in on the floor as a bedside RN to support mentorship, assessments, and team coverage.
Provide feedback, coaching, and hands-on skills development in the moment.
Work closely with nursing leadership, clinical education, and other teams across the organization — sometimes traveling to make it happen.
Balance mentorship with real-time patient care — this is a hands-on clinical role, not a desk job.
✅ What You’ll Need:Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
Current Missouri RN license
Valid BLS and ACLS certifications
At least 3 years of recent full-time experience in your clinical specialty
Strong computer skills (EMR + Microsoft Office Suite)
Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities
Flexibility to adapt to shifting priorities — and sometimes work evenings or weekends to support nurse residents
Must work at the bedside at least 12 hours every 6 weeks to maintain clinical sharpness (and during a staffing crisis, possibly more)
Bonus Points (Preferred):RN certification in education or your specialty area
Additional instructor certifications (such as BLS or ACLS instructor)
Why This Role Rocks:You get to make a lasting impact on someone’s nursing journey.
You’ll stay clinically active while stepping into a leadership-lite role.
Work with a passionate education team and collaborate across departments.
It’s rewarding, dynamic, and never boring — mentorship with meaning!
Ready to share your passion and experience to build up the future of nursing? Let’s grow greatness, together.
