Professional Advancement Programs
Many of the affiliates within the Saint Barnabas Health Care System have an established Clinical Ladder Program. The entrance and progression through the clinical ladder advocates for the growth and development of the professional nurse through independent practice to leadership roles and offers upward mobility to those who choose to participate. Questions regarding Clinical Ladder can be referred to the affiliate's Human Resources department.
As a nursing professional, there are a
number of nursing organizations in which you can become involved.
These organizations set the standards for the practice of nursing,
as well as allowing nurses from different areas to come together
to problem solve, improve patient care, and effect change for nurses
in their specialty. In many cases, there are national organizations
that oversee the activities of local chapters of that organization.
Some professional organizations are geared toward general nursing
practice, some to nursing management or nursing education, and others
are very nursing specialty specific. You would choose to join a
professional organization depending on what your goal for belonging
to the organization is. For more information, visit the website:
Professional certification is an achievement

National Nurses Week, May 6-12 coincides
with Florence Nightingale’s birthday on May 12th. The history
of Nurses’ Week began in 1953 when Dorothy Sutherland of the
US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare sent the proposal
to President Eisenhower. In 1974,
President Nixon proclaimed a National Nurse Week. Earning a reputation for
providing extraordinary clinical care in every specialty, the SBHCS
proudly celebrates their nurses during Nurses Week.
