Nurse
Practitioner, Pain Management
About Holy Cross Hospital in general
“The hospital has a great reputation.
Everyone says that: patients and their families, the physicians
and nurses who work here...everyone.”
The best thing about the job
“For me, it’s not necessarily
the clinical aspect, although that is satisfying. But even more special
is just talking to patients. Listening to them. Helping them manage
their pain. Just being there as support. I know they really appreciate
what I do.”
The best moment
“It was a small gesture that had a big
impact on me. A patient was stroking my hand, bravely smiling through
the pain, and thanking me for just listening.”
Fitting into your personal life
“I was able to apply for a part-time
position which enables me to have more time for my family and also
pursue other aspects of my nursing career. There are always choices
at Holy Cross.”
The working environment
“Holy Cross is a well respected, multicultural
hospital that encourages communication, supports career advancement
and most importantly, values the talents of its staff. Everyone here
is highly skilled and competent.”
Everyone is there for you
“Everyone is wonderful about listening to your needs and finding ways
to help. Managers are always ready to assist. And if they can’t provide
an answer or solve the problem, they’ll find someone who can. It demonstrates
just how much we care about each other here. That’s really special.”

What everyone says about Holy Cross Hospital
“I have friends who have been patients
here and they only have great things to say about the nurses and
the care they received.”
Starting here
“The orientation I received was very
thorough. And there are always knowledgeable personal mentors and
role models to help with anything you might need or any question
you might have.”
Having a family and being a nurse
“It’s easy to do both here. The
flexibility of shifts and hours makes it great for a working mom
like me. We also do self scheduling here, which means more opportunity
for better work-life balance.”
Working in a teaching hospital
“I love it. The nurses learn from the residents and the residents learn
from the nurses. It’s very energizing. And it’s nice to always
have an MD right there.”
About career growth
“Holy Cross provides ample opportunities and
great funding for programs that further your career, from pursuing your
advanced degree to completing simple continuing education credits and hours.
Also, there are plenty of growth opportunities through the clinical advancement
ladder.”
Being changed
“I just look back to where I’ve come from, what I’ve been
able to accomplish, and how many lives I’ve been able to touch. This
is a place that will make you want to stay. You enter as an individual but
work as a team. It’s all so incredible.”
