• Experience: At least 2 years of experience in a Pediatric ICU setting. Preference for candidates with 1-2 years of Pediatric acute care NP or PA experience; however, new graduates with prior ICU experience will also be considered.
• Licensure/Certifications: Massachusetts licensure as an Advanced Practice Nurse (PNP or FNP) or as a Physician Assistant.
