NURSING
Nursing has a long and impressive history at Penn
Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC), with the
opening of the hospital in 1871 and the establishment
of its School of Nursing in 1889. Now a progressive
tertiary care teaching hospital and recognized
as one of the “Top
100 Cardiovascular Hospitals” by
Solucient,
we offer patients a full array of innovative services,
from primary and family care to the most complex
and medical and surgical treatments.
Because we attract the best and brightest minds
in the field of health care, the Nurses who join
us find an opportunity to build excellent careers
in a respected big city medical center with the personal
touch of a smaller hospital. It is our goal to find
the right fit for our departments and each of the
Nurses who works for PPMC. The satisfaction of our
employees is important to us, and this is why Nurses
return to PPMC.
We have a deep commitment to the advancement of
Nursing and want our Nurses to experience both professional
and personal fulfillment, which is why we offer invaluable
programs such as on-site BSN and MSN completion programs, Gateway
to Critical Care, Gateway
to OR, our New
to Practice to Medical Surgical
Nursing, career-long learning opportunities,
mentoring, flexible scheduling and a warm, collegial
atmosphere. Our Clinical Advancement and Recognition
Program (CARP) is designed to recognize all Clinical
Nurses for their contributions to quality patient
care, as well as their clinical knowledge, and professional
achievements.
At PPMC, Nurses find a culture that does more than
value their input – they are encouraged to voice
their insights, ideas and perspectives. Through
the Staff Nurse Advisory Council and unit-based governance
council, our Nurses play an important role in making
decisions regarding patient care, developing hospital
policy and establishing operational procedures. As
vital members of interdisciplinary teams, our Nurses
are given the recognition they deserve in addition
to Physicians serving as Nurses' advocates.
