Nursing at NRMC
Create Your Nursing Career on a Team of Champions
At NRMC, being a nurse centers on inspiring excellence everyday by demonstrating solid clinical skills, innovative customer service, and a commitment to help each patient do well. The hospital, clinics, and physician practices offer many areas of specialization, and nurses are encouraged to define their goals and interests and create their unique career paths. Helping one another become the best version of ourselves is a key focus of the NRMC nursing team.
Shared Governance
As a profession, nursing was one of the first to participate and promote the concept of shared governance. Simply stated shared governance is built upon shared values and organizational goals in which leadership and staff nurses work as one to promote quality care, patient safety, best practices, ethical standards, and day-to-day operational decision-making.
At NRMC, we believe each nurse has an important voice, and we encourage everyone to be a part of who we are as an organization by contributing their ideas, giving input, serving as patient advocates, identifying strengths and areas needing improvement, and being accountable. As a nursing team, we encourage all nurses to participate in making NRMC all that it can be.

Mentoring
At NRMC, mentoring within the field of nursing helps promote learning and teamwork. Helping new nurses onboard – whether they are highly experienced or new graduates or simply new to an area of specialization — we have found that through mentoring both the mentor and the mentee grow and become even stronger in their understanding of clinical practices. Mentoring helps promote understanding and provides development opportunities for our nursing team.

A culture of excellence defines the nursing program at NRMC. And central to this is the commitment to ensure opportunities for professional development. Being a nurse means always learning and growing emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Professional development is not one size fits all but rather a unique set of opportunities that each nurse defines for her or his self. Based on skills, education, and experiences, professional development takes nurses to new levels of understanding within their chosen area of specialization. At NRMC, we encourage each nurse to create a career path based on their personal goals, aspirations, and abilities.
