Registered Nurse (RN) - Riverside Pediatrics, Outpatient (Part Time)

Bring your pediatric nursing expertise to a newly established, rapidly growing outpatient practice where your clinical judgment, adaptability, and ideas will directly influence the patient experience.

Join Riverside Pediatrics and care for children from newborn through age 18 across primary care, same-day visits, and rotating specialty services. This part-time opportunity offers 20 hours per week, the ability to flex into additional hours when available, and meaningful pathways toward clinical leadership.

The Role

As an RN at Riverside Pediatrics, you will work in a dynamic ambulatory environment where patient needs and clinical priorities vary from day to day. You will partner closely with providers and colleagues to deliver comprehensive, family-centered care while helping build the culture and processes of an expanding practice.

The position is part-time at 20 hours per week. The clinic currently operates on Saturdays and Sundays, and team members share responsibility for weekend coverage. Scheduling preferences are considered, when possible, but flexibility is important as operating hours continue to evolve with patient demand.

Your work may include:

• Providing direct nursing care during well-child, sick, follow-up, and same-day visits

• Performing telephone triage and supporting medication and chronic condition management

• Administering vaccines and reinforcing education with patients and families

• Assisting with allergy services, including food challenges and skin testing

• Supporting rotating specialty clinics in allergy, pulmonary, endocrinology, genetics, gastroenterology, and breastfeeding medicine

• Participating in in-services, training opportunities, and team meetings when schedules allow

• Adapting to changing patient volumes, visit types, and clinical priorities

This is an excellent fit for an RN who values clinical variety, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous learning. As you develop competency across the clinic's nursing functions, you may have opportunities to serve as a clinical champion, take on leadership responsibilities, and potentially mentor nursing students.
