Acute Care Nursing

The Department of Nursing at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has received multiple prestigious Magnet® designations in recognition of its excellence in nursing. Nurses at CHOP are highly valued for their contributions to the patient family experience. They provide excellence in clinical practice by eliminating preventable harm, implementing evidence-based care to achieve the best outcomes, and providing compassionate, family-centered care for the patients and families we serve.

Professional nurses are actively involved at all levels of the CHOP organization. They’re often asked to serve on decision-making bodies that address excellence in patient care and the safe, efficient and effective operation of the Hospital.

At Children’s Hospital, we’re proud of the strong collaborative working relationships within and across the healthcare disciplines. We believe teamwork promotes excellent patient care and a healthy workplace. Nurses looking to practice in an innovative, collaborative and outcomes-focused environment will find it here at CHOP.
