Pursuing a career in nursing with Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc. (SSFHS) is an excellent career decision. With 2.6 million RN in the United States alone, nursing represents the single largest healthcare profession. A nursing career in our organization offers not only professional development opportunities, but also an opportunity for personal commitment and service to others. Our focus on compassionate care, our commitment to the ongoing ministry of healing, and our Franciscan values, all make nursing at SSFHS a special and rewarding career.

This is an exciting time to be involved in patient care. Technology is changing rapidly; our knowledge of the human body is racing forward; new treatments are being developed daily; and opportunities abound for making a difference in the lives of those whom we serve. As direct caregivers, nurses are on the forefront of many of today's advancements.

At SSFHS, we believe that education is a continuous, lifelong process. As a result, we are committed to personal and professional development. The facilities of SSFHS provide scholarships, tuition reimbursement, and flexible scheduling which allow nurses the opportunity to pursue advanced education. Progressing in your education and skills provides professional as well as personal opportunities. Nurses with advanced education can become nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, educators, researchers and managers. The possibilities in nursing are virtually unlimited. Nursing careers flourish in an environment of excellence, and the facilities within the SSFHS healthcare system are committed to continued excellence in the healthcare ministry, both now and in the future. Cooperation and collaboration among the nursing staff, along with colleagues in the medical profession and within the community, facilitates the provision of comprehensive patient care.
