Job Description

Clinical Mentor RN – Be the Nurse Who Grows Other Nurses!

Are you a seasoned nurse with a passion for guiding others? Do you love seeing the “aha!” moment when everything clicks for a new nurse? If you're ready to inspire, support, and lead the next generation of caregivers, then this role is made for you!

We’re looking for a **Clinical Mentor (CM)** — a confident, compassionate, and experienced RN who knows how to walk the talk. You’ll work side-by-side with **novice nurses** , mentoring them through their first steps into clinical practice and helping them grow into strong, competent professionals.

What You’ll Do:

+ Be a **role model and mentor** for new nurses — sharing real-world knowledge, support, and encouragement.

+ Guide them through **competency development** using evidence-based practice and clinical expertise.

+ Jump in on the floor as a bedside RN to support mentorship, assessments, and team coverage.

+ Provide feedback, coaching, and hands-on skills development in the moment.

+ Work closely with nursing leadership, clinical education, and other teams across the organization — sometimes traveling to make it happen.

+ Balance mentorship with **real-time patient care** — this is a hands-on clinical role, not a desk job.

•** **What You’ll Need:

+ **Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)**

+ **Current Missouri RN license**

+ Valid **BLS** and **ACLS** certifications

+ At least **3 years of recent full-time experience** in your clinical specialty

+ Strong computer skills (EMR + Microsoft Office Suite)

+ Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities

+ Flexibility to adapt to shifting priorities — and sometimes work **evenings or weekends** to support nurse residents

+ Must work at the bedside **at least 12 hours every 6 weeks** to maintain clinical sharpness (and during a staffing crisis, possibly more)

Bonus Points (Preferred):

+ **RN certification** in education or your specialty area

+ Additional instructor certifications (such as BLS or ACLS instructor)

Why This Role Rocks:

+ You get to **make a lasting impact** on someone’s nursing journey.

+ You’ll stay clinically active while stepping into a **leadership-lite** role.

+ Work with a passionate education team and collaborate across departments.

+ It’s rewarding, dynamic, and never boring — mentorship with meaning!

Ready to share your passion and experience to build up the future of nursing? Let’s grow greatness, together.
