Nursing Careers


Friends Hospital seeks experienced, energetic and caring professionals to join its nursing team. Our nurses are part of a top level multi-disciplinary team focused on providing high quality care for acutely ill patients. We are currently increasing our complement of nursing staff to provide a treatment environment with low patient to nurse ratios to allow for the most patient-focused care. We are invested in on-going training and education for our nurses, including in-house aggression management training and CPR. Our nursing staff is eligible for tuition reimbursement and may take advantage of continuing education courses offered on-site at Friends Hospital. We use state-the-art equipment, including an electronic pharmacy order entry system. Nurses receive an individualized 9-day orientation to become familiar with our Hospital processes and procedures. Staff become benefit eligible the first of the month following date of hire. Call us! We will be happy to provide a tour of the Hospital!
