About the Highland Approach to Nursing
At Highland Hospital, our guiding principle is to give care to patients in a compassionate, professional way. Caregivers, staff and administration work together as a team to achieve this goal.
Every nurse wants to provide a patient with the best possible care, but at Highland we go one step further to insure that each patient is treated with genuine warmth and caring thoughtfulness. We allow the extra time to talk to patients to help them through their experience.
Participation
Collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are key elements of the Highland approach to creating a medical environment of caring and excellence. We work together to find solutions to problems and challenges as they arise.
Participation is fostered through hospital committees such as the Board of Professional Nurses, the Employee Recognition Committee, the Clinical Ladder Advancement Program and staff meetings with the Vice President for Patient Care Services.
Nursing Orientation
Highland offers the most comprehensive nursing orientation program in the area. After two weeks of classroom sessions, you will feel confident and well-equipped to begin your nursing career here with a clear understanding of our approach to evidence-based practice, documentation, advanced directives, use of the computer system, infection control. IV therapy, mock codes, diversity and your new employee benefits.
Unit Orientation
When starting on their units, new Highland nurses benefit from another six to eight weeks of unit-specific training. This training will be in the form of activities or classes tailored to the individual nurse's needs, and will cover a variety of unit-specific skills which may include working with preceptors, shadowing with respiratory therapy, specialized skills classes and PACU/OR shadowing for surgical nurses.
