Whether it's by reimbursing you for education, providing opportunities to participate in research, or giving you more opportunities to be involved, we want you to be fulfilled and happy. Here are a few of the key reasons why we’ve been able to recruit and keep some of the finest nurses around:
Opportunities to be heard and to participate in decision-making and process improvement
Unit-based and hospital-wide shared leadership councils, as well as numerous committees, task forces and process improvement projects
Excellent nurse-to-patient ratios
Compared to national and regional norms we have strong nurse-to-patient ratios. Our staffing levels, however, aren't based on an arbitrary number. They take into account patient acuity and the skill mix of staff on the unit, as well as the unit geography and other resources available on the unit, such as patient care technicians, nurse educators, and case managers.
Flexible scheduling.
Competitive salary and benefits
Includes free membership in both of our state-of-the art fitness centers and an award-winning employee wellness program.

Professional development opportunities, including up to $4,000 in education assistance annually for full-time employees and up to $2,000 for eligible part-timers. Fifty-eight percent of our direct-care nurses have bachelor's degrees, 3.5 percent have master's or higher, and 39 percent are certified. In fact, many of our nurses hold multiple specialty certifications. Over the past five years Edward nurses have been involved in nearly 100 research studies on topics as diverse as pain management, animal-assisted therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and perioperative education.
Potential career paths in management, education and more.
A beautiful hospital with a healing environment to work in—one that area residents rated the “best” among other area hospitals in a recent PRC image survey.
