Nursing at St. John's
 Welcome
from Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive, Pam Reese, RN, CNAA, FACHE
The best part of my job is the opportunity to work with the fine nursing
and other health care professionals throughout St. John's Health System who are committed to
providing the best health care they can, which is equal to or better than
at any place I have ever worked before.
As I travel to the
hospitals throughout St. John's Health System to meet nursing staff and
other personnel, my goal is to help nursing staff to have the tools,
skills training and support needed to fulfill them as individuals and to
meet the needs of the patients they serve.
Nurses at St. John's are
guided by the Mercy values - service, justice, excellence, stewardship,
and respect for the dignity of each person - which I believe is what sets
St. John's apart from any other health care provider in the region.
My personal philosophy is
that nurses, physicians and administrators must work together as partners to assure the delivery of high quality patient care.
That
is one of the reasons I was attracted to work for St. John's. I see these
relationships continuing to improve day by day and I believe patients benefit
tremendously by the way we practice and work together at St.
John's.
The stronger we work
together, the better we are for our patients and our community.
