Nurse Practitioner MSN -- Pediatric Hospitalist -- WCH-MSOB

Join a Pediatric Team That Loves What We Do.

Help Us Care for the Children of West Virginia-Day and Night.

CAMC Women and Children's Hospital-part of Vandalia Health-is a regional leader in comprehensive pediatric care. Located in the heart of Charleston, WV, our hospital provides dedicated, family-centered services ranging from Level IIIB Neonatal Intensive Care to inpatient pediatric medicine, pediatric surgery, emergency care, and a broad array of subspecialties.

We are expanding our Inpatient Pediatric Night Team and are seeking three Advanced Practice Providers (APRNs/PAs) who are passionate about acute pediatric care, thrive in collaborative environments, and value both autonomy and strong clinical support.

• Work in tandem with pediatric resident physicians overnight to provide seamless, high-quality care to hospitalized children.
• Manage a mix of independent APP patients and collaborative care patients shared with the resident and attending teams.
• Participate in ED pediatric consults, transfer evaluations, and inpatient admissions.
• Engage with a multidisciplinary team including pharmacy, respiratory therapy, nursing, case management, pediatric subspecialists, and our on-call attending team.
• Help maintain clinical stability, safe escalation pathways, and continuity of care overnight for our pediatric unit.
