Entry Level Pediatric Intensive Care Nurse Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level pediatric intensive care nurse job?
Entry level pediatric intensive care nurse roles typically require a registered nursing license and a BSN, though some employers accept ADN graduates who are completing their bachelor's degree. Candidates who complete PICU or critical care clinical rotations, obtain Pediatric Advanced Life Support certification, and highlight hands-on experience with pediatric patients gain a clear edge over those with only general acute care backgrounds.
Which companies hire entry level pediatric intensive care nurses?
Companies hiring entry level pediatric intensive care nurses right now include Dartmouth Health, LifeBridge Health, and The University of Iowa, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Children's hospitals, large academic medical centers, and regional health systems tend to post the most entry level PICU openings, often through new graduate nurse residency programs designed to build critical care skills from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level pediatric intensive care nurse jobs?
Yes, though the vast majority of PICU roles require in-person bedside care. About 0% of entry level pediatric intensive care nurse openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve pediatric case management, telehealth triage, or care coordination rather than direct bedside nursing in an intensive care unit.
Are these new grad pediatric intensive care nurse jobs?
Yes, many of the listings on this page are new grad friendly and include recent graduate and junior roles that welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience, clinical internships, or relevant practicum work. A new grad posting typically notes that it accepts candidates from an accredited nursing program, values PICU or pediatric clinical rotation hours, and may be tied to a formal nurse residency program.
Which industries hire the most entry level pediatric intensive care nurses?
Entry Level pediatric intensive care nurse roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate dedicated pediatric units, children's specialty wards, and critical care programs that consistently recruit new graduates to fill bedside positions and support growing patient volumes.
