Working in a hospital is all about extremes. A miracle unfolds down the hall from a tragedy. A life is saved within minutes of a life lost. Nurses with the Seton Healthcare Family are part of this amazing rollercoaster every day on the job. And they wouldn’t have it any other way.
If you would like to work in an innovative environment where you can flourish, are valued and have professional satisfaction, then Seton is the place for you.
The Seton culture supports the autonomy of nurses through shared governance. Endowed with an unusually high degree of decision-making authority, Seton nurses have a voice in virtually everything we do — from patient care issues to equipment selection.
Seton nurses enjoy a wide array of professional development opportunities, including support for national certification, Clinical Ladder, higher education, preceptor training and simulation training. We also offer the opportunity to work side-by-side with some of the most talented practitioners, including the many advanced practice nurses deployed in our inpatient and outpatient settings.
Most of Seton’s 3,900+ nurses have surpassed their career goals, with many certified and presenting and publishing nationally. To support these efforts, Seton has a Center for Nursing Research that not only generates nursing science, but also implements and translates evidence-based practice.
Seton nurses have a strong community presence and make it possible for Seton to achieve its mssion of caring for the poor and vulnerable. As health care professionals, Seton nurses are involved on local boards, in the media, in the schools and churches, in local nonprofit service organizations, in ethnic acculturation and health fairs, disaster relief and even health care politics.
I invite you to join your colleagues in this nurturing environment where nurse’s contributions are valued. Spend some time reviewing our sites, and discover for yourself why the Austin Business Journal continues to name Seton one of the best places to work in Central Texas and why the ANCC has designated four of our hospitals Magnet and another five as Pathway to Excellence.
