Nursing
Nurses at Sinai find challenge and reward every day in their jobs. Nursing care at Sinai is delivered by a caring and committed team of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Nursing Assistants with the breadth of knowledge to care for patients with a wide variety of complex disease processes.
Care is supplemented by a team of Certified Wound Care and Infectious Disease Nurses for patients requiring specialized care of complex wounds or those with complicated infections. Our team is also enhanced by the recently developed Resource Nurse role, providing clinical oversight and support to the nursing staff at the point of care.
Our professional development staff utilizes simulation technology and other learning techniques to ensure successful transition into practice of our new graduates and ongoing educational opportunities that allow our staff to further advance their clinical skills.
