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.
