Nurses in their own words
“What do I love about my job? Everything. I can't even pick and choose. The team at PeaceHealth is great. Everybody's respectful to each other and to our patients. And we're always working toward patient safety. Also, there are several programs which make it easier for nurses. I personally did my BSN here. PeaceHealth reimbursed my tuition, which helped me a lot. There’s a preceptor program you can enroll into and once you’ve done the course, you can precept new nurses. And the PNAP, the Professional Nurse Advancement Program, helps nurses get further education and move along in their careers.”
— Preet Sandhu, RN, emergency department nurse, PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center
“PeaceHealth is a great place to work because there's a sense of family and community. I’ve been here for 15 years. I started out in the dish room in the cafeteria, advanced to cashiering, then worked in ER admitting and in childcare center admitting — all while going to nursing school. When I was in school, my union offered tuition assistance and made it possible for me to complete my nursing program. I know so many people here, from housekeepers to doctors, that I've had longstanding relationships with. They’ve been very supportive of my journey.”
— Abby Farmer, RN, surgical nurse, PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center
