Nursing at Martha Jefferson means:
  • Practicing in a nurse and patient-friendly environment
  • Continuously expanding practice areas
  • State-of-the-art technology at your fingertips
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Support for continuing education and professional growth

We believe in the following philosophical principles:

  • Nursing is a collaborative practice that acknowledges the contribution and value of all professional caregivers, ancillary staff and the patient’s input as the best means of providing excellence in care.
  • Nursing is a partnership with those to whom we provide are and education.
  • Nursing offers equality of care to patients, their families and loved ones regardless of ethnic, social and economic differences,
  • Nurses treat patients and their loved ones with respect, dignity and compassion.
  • Nurses exhibit accountability for their own clinical practice as well as responsibility for the fiscal implications of their care.
  • Nurses continually seek to enhance their competence and skills as changing knowledge and technology become available.
  • Nursing involves a lifelong commitment to education, learning, teaching and the willingness and flexibility to manage change.
