Our vision identifies knowledge as a pillar for delivering on our promise to create excellent care experiences. Saint Mary’s recognizes professional development as a cornerstone for realizing this vision and enhancing our nursing practice. We also understand that the needs of individual nurses will vary at different stages in their careers. Our leadership team is committed to fulfilling those needs.

Our model of professional development includes growth opportunities that are unique to you wherever you are on your journey—from novice to expert. Each new graduate or experienced nurse who joins our team will become engaged in a supportive and personally developed plan for initial orientation as well as ongoing professional development based upon individual needs. If you choose to become a Saint Mary’s nurse you can expect to partner with our educators and Clinical Nurse Specialists, as well as collaborate with the department management team in a comprehensive developmental process. A process balanced with learning opportunities that provide guidance and support in the development and enhancement of competencies, resulting in the delivery of exceptional patient care. We are committed to your development as you continue your professional career at the bedside, or as you decide to pursue the multitude of additional opportunities for RNs within Saint Mary’s and Trinity Health.
