Professional Growth and Development
Covenant Health promotes a continuous learning environment to foster professional
development and accountability of nursing staff with the intent of improving
patient care outcomes and enhancing nurse satisfaction.
Clinical nurses have the opportunity for career growth and development
through a Professional Advancement Program. Professional portfolio and
project development processes are designed to bring the nurse to a higher
level of learning and leadership, creating an environment in which nurses
take conscious ownership for their work and development. The foundation
for our Professional Advancement Program is Patricia Benner’s concept
known as “From Novice to Expert.”

- Friends of Nursing Scholarships
- Success Pays Specialty Certification program
