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.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Nursing or the equivalent in a combination of an ADN and years of relevant experience.

• Current state of Missouri license as a Registered Nurse.

• Current BLS, ACLS.

• Three years recent nursing experience and/or demonstrated proficient to expert clinical aptitude and leadership.

• Current certifications per department requirements.

• Ability to navigate through the electronic medical record.

• Effective collaboration, problem solving, and written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to be self-motivated and work independently/collaborate with colleagues and shift priorities with flexibility.

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.
