Continuing Education
Nurses at FPH are encouraged to grow through continuing education
programs offered at no charge on site or at a nearby Citrus Valley
Health Partners campus. In addition, we offer annual skills and
safety fairs as well as many self-study programs.
•
Cross training and in-house transfer/promotion provide the
opportunity to increase individual knowledge.
•
Training programs are available for new graduates and specialty
areas such as ICU, Labor and Delivery and Nursery.
•
Certification is specialty areas such as RNC, CCRN and CEN is
encouraged and supported. At FPH, more than 20% of our Registered
Nurses are certified.
Staff Participation
Staff nurses are provided the opportunity to participate in various
committees and/or task forces that make decisions related to patient
care and/or human resource issues. The Chief Nursing Executive and
Nursing Directors work closely with the staff to achieve quality
care in a caring environment.
Scheduling
Staff work 12-hour shifts in most units. The 12-hour shift allows
the nurse to work 6 shifts per pay period and maintain full time
status. Self-scheduling is done in most units.
While the hiring commitment is for every other weekend, several unit
schedules allow an every third weekend rotation.
In-house Registry
We offer an In-House Registry program, which provides employees the
opportunity to work additional shifts at a higher pay rate.
Sick Child Care
Should your child over age 6 years be ill and you are not
comfortable leaving him/her at home, you may arrange for Sick Child
Care in our Pediatrics unit on a space available basis and for a
nominal fee.
