Nursing Department

The Nursing Service Department is responsible for providing the patient and their families’ care that requires specialized knowledge, judgment, and skills derived from the principles of biological, physical, social, psychosocial and nursing process.

The practice at the hospital is based on the nursing process, professional practice models, and recognized standards of care and is consistent with all-applicable state and regulatory laws.

Patient care is provided by Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LVN), Licensed Practical Technician (LPT), Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and other nursing support employees.

Patient care is accomplished through the execution of the nursing process, education for patient and family, fair and equitable management, quality improvement, and ongoing implementation and revision of nursing standards.
