Our Nursing Team's Commitment to Patients Extends Beyond Exceptional Medical Care
Our nurses are truly extraordinary and essential to making Shriners Children's such a special place, going far beyond their professional promise to provide compassionate, high-quality care. The support they provide during a child's time with us helps build lasting relationships. They're that crucial link to families and are deeply committed to a child, and their family's, overall well-being.
For the nurses at Shriners Children's, it's all about treating patients, not conditions. Our patients and their families overwhelmingly agree that our nursing team makes their overall experience with Shriners Children's a positive one.
Supporting Those Who Are Vital to Our Success
Because this team is such a crucial piece of our ability to provide amazing care to children everywhere, we must support them as much as they support our patients. Shriners Children’s leadership is committed to providing our nurses with the tools, education and advancement opportunities that help them thrive professionally. Our nurses, including our per diem nurses, have access to a range of online continuing education programs. These programs are designed to help them maintain their license requirements, while promoting ongoing education and providing access to professional courses that prepare them for national specialty certification exams.
We also cover the cost of national certification exam fees and offer tuition reimbursement for training and professional development programs that our nurses engage in to advance their careers.
