(NAC) is an award-winning health care and social service agency in Midtown Manhattan which serves children living with medical complexity, disabilities or serious emotional or psychiatric disturbance and their families. We are currently seeking a Pediatric Registered Nurse to work in the communities of families enrolled in our Prevention and Foster Care programs and in our clinics. This position offers highly rewarding experience for nursing professionals who welcome the opportunity to build strong relationships with at- risk families within their communities.

As a member of NAC’s nursing team, the Pediatric Registered Nurse (hereafter referred to as, “nurse”) is responsible for a caseload of children and youth (hereafter referred to as, “children”) and families. The nurse makes clinical assessments during visits in the community and the clinics; provides anticipatory guidance and health-related education to children and families; and helps coordinate care for children living with medical complexity, disabilities or serious emotional or psychiatric disturbance and their families. The nurse provides these services during regularly scheduled visits to families’ homes and other community sites, and on-site in our Article 28 and 31 clinics. Care is delivered in collaboration with NAC’s outstanding teams of social workers, behavior specialists, mental health professionals, education specialists, physicians, nurse practitioners, and other staff.
