Pediatric Registered Nurse Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric registered nurse in Arizona?
You become a pediatric registered nurse in Arizona by completing an accredited associate or bachelor of science in nursing program, passing the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtaining an active RN license through the Arizona State Board of Nursing. Arizona participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other Compact states can practice in Arizona without a separate application. After licensure, most pediatric roles require PALS certification and ideally clinical experience in a pediatric or acute care setting.
How much do pediatric registered nurses make in Arizona?
Pediatric registered nurses in Arizona earn a median of about $99,500 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,540 for the lowest 10% to over $130,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric registered nurses in Arizona?
Companies currently hiring pediatric registered nurses in Arizona include Banner Health, tms, and CMC Phoenix, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Phoenix Children's Hospital and Banner Health represent two of the most consistent sources of pediatric nursing openings in the state.
Which Arizona cities have the most pediatric registered nurse jobs?
Mesa, Tucson, and Phoenix have the most pediatric registered nurse openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates the market because it is home to flagship children's and academic medical centers, while Tucson's activity is driven by Banner University Medical Center and the University of Arizona Health Network, and Mesa benefits from its proximity to major Phoenix metro hospital campuses.
Are there remote pediatric registered nurse jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric registered nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 33% of pediatric registered nurse openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in telephonic triage, care coordination, or utilization review rather than direct bedside nursing.
How can I get hired as a pediatric registered nurse in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic path for candidates without pediatric experience is applying to a nurse residency program, which Phoenix Children's Hospital and Banner Health both run for new graduates and career-changers transitioning into pediatrics. These structured programs provide supervised clinical hours in pediatric units before full independent practice. Lateral moves from med-surg, neonatal, or emergency nursing roles at Arizona hospitals also open doors regularly, and holding an active Arizona Compact RN license plus current PALS certification gives any entry-level candidate a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric registered nurse jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to pediatric registered nurse jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings in one place. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
