Nursing at EMHC
At Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare, nurses are empowered to be leaders at the patient’s bedside.
- We value our nurses and the expertise that they bring to the patient-care team.
- We believe in relationship-based care and encourage our nurses to determine best care practices.
- Our professional practice model focuses on developing our nurses’ interpersonal, critical thinking and technical skills in order to help them develop as patient-care leaders.
- We believe that it is equally as important to provide a healthy environment and resources to our nursing staff as it is to provide those elements to our patients. Nursing pods that encourage small-group communication between a patient’s care team, private spaces for documentation and locating necessary supplies nearby patient rooms are ways that we make sure our nurses have what they need to provide optimal care to their patients.
- To support your personal and professional interests, Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare uses BidShift, an Internet-based staff-scheduling program, to fill open shifts. BidShift provides our staff with flexibility and control over their schedules by allowing them to request any open shifts for which they qualify across the entire organization.
