Pediatric Registered Nurse Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric registered nurse in Minnesota?
You must earn a nursing degree, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain an active license through the Minnesota Board of Nursing before practicing in the state. Minnesota participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other compact states may practice without applying for a separate Minnesota license. From there, most pediatric RN roles expect clinical experience in a pediatric or acute care setting, and earning a pediatric nursing certification strengthens candidacy significantly.
How much do pediatric registered nurses make in Minnesota?
Pediatric registered nurses in Minnesota earn a median of about $101,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,960 for the lowest 10% to over $132,430 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric registered nurses in Minnesota?
Employers hiring pediatric registered nurses in Minnesota right now include Pediatric Home Service, Aveanna Healthcare, and American Traveler, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems and dedicated children's hospitals account for the majority of ongoing pediatric nursing openings across the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most pediatric registered nurse jobs?
Minneapolis, Rochester, and Red Wing lead Minnesota for pediatric registered nurse openings, driven primarily by the concentration of major children's hospitals, academic medical centers, and large health systems in the Twin Cities metro, while Rochester's presence as home to Mayo Clinic and Duluth's role as a regional health hub sustain demand outside the metro area.
Are there remote pediatric registered nurse jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site work in a hospital, clinic, or care facility. About 0% of pediatric registered nurse openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to concentrate in telehealth triage, care coordination, or utilization review functions rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a pediatric registered nurse in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new graduate nurse residency program, and several large Minnesota employers offer structured ones specifically designed for nurses without clinical experience. Children's Minnesota and M Health Fairview run well-known residency cohorts that rotate new graduates through pediatric units before permanent placement. Candidates who have completed pediatric clinical rotations during nursing school, hold current PALS certification, or have worked as a pediatric patient care technician or licensed practical nurse stand out most in early-career applicant pools.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric registered nurse jobs in Minnesota?
