Advancing care through nursing research
Many healthcare innovations begin at the bedside. Ascension nurse scientists partner with frontline nurses to turn clinical questions into evidence-based improvements in patient care, safety, and nurse well-being.
Investing in our nurses
Ascension provides opportunities for nurses to build skills, pursue new roles, and shape the future of nursing throughout their careers.
Career growth through education
Nurses at Ascension can pursue advanced education, specialty certifications, and other professional development opportunities. These pathways help nurses build their skills, advance their careers, and prepare for future leadership opportunities.
Supporting well-being
Strong care teams are built on a healthy and engaged workforce. Through initiatives like Always-On Listening and other well-being programs, nurses can share feedback, shape workplace improvements, and help build positive work environments.
Building the next generation
Our nurse preceptor program provides newly licensed nurses with structured mentorship and clinical guidance as they begin their careers. The program helps build clinical confidence, support professional growth, and prepares nurses to deliver safe, compassionate care.
