Abbott Northwestern Hospital is one of the top workplaces for nurses
02/02/2009--Abbott Northwestern Hospital is among the nation's Top 100 Hospitals to Work For in 2009, according to Nursing Professionals magazine. The national nursing magazine surveyed 25,000 randomly selected hospital nurses throughout the country, measuring job satisfaction and key indicators of a hospital's support of the nursing profession.
"It is an honor for Abbott Northwestern to receive this recognition," said Terry Graner, vice president of Patient Care Services at the hospital. "We work very hard to ensure that nurses have the support they need to provide exceptional patient care and the open lines of communication necessary to continue to improve our work environment. This recognition is acknowledgment of those efforts and it speaks volumes about our collaborative approach to making this the best place possible for patients and nurses."
Some of the sample questions were:
- How well does your hospital manage personal training and development?
- Is your hospital a family-friendly employer?
- Does your hospital offer flexible working arrangements?
- Does your hospital promote equality and diversity in your nursing workforce?
- How strong is the nursing voice within your hospital on a scale of 1 through 10?
