Orientation and
Mentorship
New Grad RNs tell us that one of the main reasons for their
selection of FPH as an employer is our thorough, hands-on
orientation and New Grad Program. Specialty training and orientation
programs are available for Diabetes Care/Pediatrics, Labor and
Delivery and Critical Care nursing. The orientation program is
individualized to each new employee.
Career Planning
FPH wants to help its employees further their careers and
educational goals. Our generous tuition reimbursement program helps
employees pursue health care-related degrees and certifications.
Working in a smaller facility allows greater opportunity for new
experiences and resulting expertise to be recognized. Many managers
and department directors have been promoted from staff positions,
allowing the organization to benefit from employee expertise and
providing vital career enhancement opportunities.
