New Web site reveals real-life nursing stories, opportunities at St. Francis

INDIANAPOLIS – For most in the field, nursing is far more than a career. It’s a calling that blends professionalism with compassion to care for patients.

Those two qualities are paramount among the 1,450 nurses at St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers. And visitors to a newly launched Web site can learn what nursing is like and what opportunities exist at St. Francis’ hospitals in Indianapolis, Beech Grove and Mooresville.

Produced by the hospital’s Community Relations and Marketing Department and Nursing Operations, the Web has more than 70 pages and nearly 30 videos showcasing nurses from those early in their career through senior leadership.

The new site offers valuable information for nurses and nursing students considering a career at St. Francis Hospital, including unit information, specialty training, mentoring and professional development opportunities.

“For me and my colleagues, nursing is a ministry, and we’re proud so many have answered the call by choosing St. Francis as their professional home,” said Susan McRoberts, chief nursing officer and vice president.
