The PICU at Randall Children's Hospital in Portland, OR is currently recruting 2 APPs (NP/PA) to join our close-knit team of 10 physicians and 2 APPs. This is a unique opportunity to provide high acuity care in our busy 24 bed non-academic tertiary mixed PICU/CTICU. This is a unique dayshift oppurtunity only to support the physician team. Our APPs act very independently and become skilled at both bedside clincal care and procedures. Oppurtunies for leadership and QI initiatives for those interested.
Our clinical services include ECLS, CRRT, advanced ventilator modalities including VDR ventilation, a busy pediatric critical care transport service, and provision of collaborative management with numerous pediatric surgical and sub-specialty services. We are a combined unit that provides post operative care to approximately 110 post op cardiac cases per year in close collaboration with our cardiology colleagues.
Our ideal candidate would have several years experience working in a PICU, urgent care, or ED and thrives in a fast paced, high acuity, collaborative enviroment.

Portland is a beautiful city offering diverse communities and unique cultural activities. Beautiful parks, waterways and more biking paths per mile than any other U.S. city promote an active and healthy lifestyle. In just over an hour the snowboarder can be riding at Mt. Hood, the surfer can be catching waves at Cannon Beach, and the windsurfer can be sailing in the Gorge. There truly is something for everyone in Portland.
