We have what experienced nurses want.
Reason No. 1 - Unit Councils
Decision-Making AuthorityAt John Muir Health you speak your mind, use your expertise and impact the continuum of care. Our Shared Decision Making model encourages nurses' participation in Unit Councils that support professional nursing practice and a positive work environment. We defer to your collective experience and critical thinking skills, and never underestimate nurses' basic instinct to use the best clinical evidence to make astute patient-care decisions.
Reason No. 2 - Lift Teams
Muscles Not MachinesSome hospitals' idea of a helping hand is a cumbersome contraption. At John Muir Health we have real live Lift Teams 24/7 to take a load off your back, hefty Patient Transport Teams so you don't have to push gurneys, and an IV Team to take care of tough veins. Some units have a dedicated Wound Care RN and energetic Service Workers. While other hospitals are cutting back on support services, ours have never been stronger! And that's less wear and tear on your body.
Reason No. 3 - Unique Programs
Rewards and RecognitionWe strongly believe in recognizing those who exemplify excellence, and reward them for contributing to our collective success. From individual to department to spontaneous recognition, Employee Suggestion Awards, Employee Referral Program, Holiday Happenings and many more, we find unique ways to thank our employees for the outstanding efforts they make every day.
Reason No. 4 - IT Initiatives
Patient Safety and Quality CareInformation technology assists the entire nursing process at John Muir Health. Caregivers can access the service, procedures, medications and doctors' notes on every patient instantly. Bar coded meds and Pyxis stations are part of our huge patient safety initiative that has been in place and ongoing for years.
Reason No. 5 - WeeCare Campus

We subsidize much of the program's cost as an employee benefit. Best of all the children are just as excited about it as their parents!
Reason No. 6 - Open Forums
Professional RespectAn important part of our collaborative work environment is good communication with employees.
