At Madonna, our message to our patients is "Now you can," meaning that despite the life-altering event experienced, patients can work with their nurses and therapists to get back to their life roles. Those three words also mean a lot to a Madonna nurse!
Now you can....
- turn work into your life's mission
- see the impact you have on the patients and their families
- make a difference in people's lives
- love your job
- go home at the end of the shift and know you made a difference.
Professional development
Madonna allows nurses to specialize in subjects that interest them. The nurses then serve as champions for their clinical teams. The hospital invests additional training and education in these individuals to further develop their level of expertise.
We also support the overall professional development of our nursing staff. Monthly CEUs are offered free-of-charge to meet licensure requirements. Local, regional and national speakers present on topics identified as priorities by the clinical staff.
Madonna provides educational, as well as financial assistance to nurses pursuing professional certification in areas such as rehabilitation, medical, surgical, gerontology and wound/ostomy care.
The hospital embraces a systems framework, which means we believe in an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to patient-focused care. The contributions of all clinical specialties are both expected and respected in our setting.
A professional practice ladder (ICAN) is used to recognize the bedside staff that are involved in initiatives that improve the clinical care provided to our patients.
As a nurse who pursued this profession to work directly with patients, you will enjoy the time you have with patients at Madonna to build relationships and get to know family members. You'll work alongside other clinical professionals committed to quality care. Rehabilitation nursing involves a holistic approach with the goal of maximizing patients' abilities, independence and self reliance.
Madonna employees become part of the hospital family. We sponsor many opportunities to have fun with co-workers, like the Nurses' Week Volleyball Tournament, a Chili Cook-off Contest and other enjoyable events that are employee and family oriented.
