Professional Practice Model
Shared Governance
At CommonSpirit, nurses play a significant role in how our organization functions. Collaborative decision-making is at the heart of this process. Our nurses serve on multidisciplinary teams that focus on implementation of best practices, integration of research and ongoing quality and performance improvements. They help guide the organization in issues such as retention and recognition, mentoring, succession planning and professional development. With shared governance, our nurses make a difference and are involved, invested and inspired.
Applying Nurses
At CommonSpirit, we offer nurses far more than flexible scheduling, competitive pay, and comprehensive benefits. We provide nurses a professional home where they can grow. Our clinical ladder is a structured system that distinguishes and promotes clinical excellence. The tuition reimbursement program equips associates for advancement and our collective shared governance model positions nurses as leaders in the organization.
