In this era of nursing shortages and burnout, it’s critical to find the right nursing role at the right organization to effectively deliver your unique brand of care. We may be biased, but we think nursing at Providence Swedish is the best. Here are three big reasons to join us as a nurse at Providence Swedish.

Reason 1: Providence Swedish prioritizes avoiding nurse burnout.

Nursing is a tough job, and making our nurses’ lives easier is an ongoing focus. We ease the burden on our nurses by:

• Paying them competitively, with the potential for high future earnings.
• Wholeheartedly supporting legislation requiring staffing plans so nurses aren’t stretched thin.
• Offering always-on, free mental wellness resources through Lyra, which gives nurses and their family members up to 25 counseling or coaching sessions per year, in person or online, as well as a host of other mental health and wellbeing resources.
• Pioneering AI-based technology that helps caregivers streamline the flow of electronic messages received, enabling them to focus on the most urgent messages first.

We also support nurses by fostering teams that have each other’s backs and managers that put people first. Says Chief Nursing Officer Michelle, “This work takes your brain, it takes your heart, it takes your personality. And, if you’re doing it right, you’re exhausted. You’re emotionally drained. You’re mentally drained. You’re physically drained. And so in my role, I get to be the nurse to the nurses, and that’s pretty cool.”

ER RN Jared feels the support from his managers and supervisors. “They will come in on night shift and say, ‘Hey can we help?’ The simple fact of showing up and saying, I don’t have the answers but I’m here with you, is incredible. There’s no more clear way to show someone that you’ve got their back than to say, ‘I’m in the trenches with you. Let’s figure this out.’”

Reason 2: Innovation fuels nursing at Providence Swedish.

Nursing is changing and Providence Swedish is implementing new models of care to further improve efficiencies for nurses and extend the longevity of their careers. One example is the implementation of virtual nursing in our hospitals and other care facilities. This innovative care model enables nurses to practice at the top of their license and allows nurses who may not want or be able to work at the bedside to stay in the field of nursing.

We continuously strive to nurture research, innovation and clinical scholarships in nursing at Providence Swedish. This is done through the Providence Clinical Scholarship Framework and development programs for nurses at all levels who are interested in advancing their research expertise and skills.

Reason 3: Professional development for nurses is a key focus at Providence Swedish.

We care so much about the success of our nurses at Providence Swedish that our commitment to professional development is in writing. Says Michelle, “It’s built right into their contract that nurses can get reimbursed for training, college or certification in your specialty. That’s a badge of honor to say that someone is an expert in their area, and we love that. It’s so important that staff feel confident doing what they need to do.”

Our RN Residency/Fellowship Program provides you with everything you need to feel confident in your skills on the hospital floor. We offer a wide range of learning tracks with integrated classroom, simulation and clinical experiences under the guidance and support of preceptors.

Says RN Supervisor Niki, “I found my home at Swedish pretty quickly. I started as an ICU resident, and I was welcomed. It became my family.”

From recently graduated BSNs to experienced RNs who are ready for a new specialty, we provide an integrated, consistent support structure for mentoring, career guidance and development, and new nurse onboarding—to ensure our nurses are reliably prepared, and inspired and challenged in their work.

We offer comprehensive programs which include fundamentals, nurse mentoring, preceptor training and simulation for a wide variety of specialty roles.
