Nursing Careers

Shared governance in nursing promotes shared decision-making and nursing empowerment by promoting nurse’s engagement in decisions impacting processes, policies, and procedures at the point of care. At GHS, nursing shared-decision making through our Unit-Based Councils and Nurse Advisory Board provides direction and support for the professional practice of nursing at GHS. This allows nurses to have a voice on vital and necessary changes that occur throughout the organization as well as share ideas and achieve outcomes through effective and innovative methods.

Nursing professional development is the lifelong process of active participation in learning activities that assist in developing and maintaining continuing competence, enhance professional practice, and support achievement of career goals. GHS supports our nurses through multiple professional development opportunities to get a head start in your chosen field, continue your education and further your career.
Nursing professional development also includes orientation programs, individualized training and customized preceptorships, tailored to your nursing area or specialty.

The Clinical Advancement Program is one way GHS offers nursing professional development. This program provides voluntary career advancement opportunities, including additional education, increasing levels of responsibility, and financial reward, reflecting upward progression on the clinical ladder. By demonstrating expert knowledge and skill proficiency at designated levels, nurses can participate in the Clinical Advancement Program, designed to take the nurse’s personal and professional development to a higher level.
Nurses who participate in the Clinical Advancement Program have the opportunity to climb our clinical ladder and earn compensation, while giving back to our community through meaningful activities that directly impact our patients, family members, and community.
