Pediatric Registered Nurse Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pediatric registered nurse in Pennsylvania?

To become a pediatric registered nurse in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active RN license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN. After licensure, most pediatric roles expect experience in a pediatric or acute care setting. Many nurses pursue voluntary certifications such as the Certified Pediatric Nurse credential through the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board to strengthen their candidacy at Pennsylvania children's hospitals.

How much do pediatric registered nurses make in Pennsylvania?

Pediatric registered nurses in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $96,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,800 for the lowest 10% to over $117,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pediatric registered nurses in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring pediatric registered nurses in Pennsylvania right now include Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health, Penn State Health, and Care Options For Kids, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's dense network of academic medical centers and regional children's hospitals means consistent demand across both major metros and smaller communities throughout the state.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most pediatric registered nurse jobs?

Philadelphia, Hershey, and Pittsburgh have the most pediatric registered nurse openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its concentration of nationally ranked children's hospitals and academic health systems, while Pittsburgh's strength reflects UPMC's broad regional footprint, and Hershey draws consistent volume from Penn State Health's academic medical campus.

Are there remote pediatric registered nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric registered nursing is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site presence in a hospital, clinic, or home health setting. About 13% of pediatric registered nurse openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be telehealth triage or care coordination roles rather than direct bedside positions.

How can I get hired as a pediatric registered nurse in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to a new-graduate nurse residency program at a Pennsylvania children's hospital, with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh both running structured residencies that place new RNs directly into pediatric units. Candidates who have completed pediatric clinical rotations, hold current PALS certification, or have experience in adjacent roles such as pediatric medical assistant or pediatric LPN have a clear advantage. Pursuing Certified Pediatric Nurse eligibility as early as possible also strengthens an application.

Where can I find and apply to pediatric registered nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
