Why Our Nurses Think Smaller is Smarter

“The people I work with are the reason I choose to work at King’s Daughters Hospital. The physicians respect my opinion and really listen to me. The nurses are wonderful – we all help each other and trust one another knowing we will go the extra mile and do whatever is necessary to get the job done. The teamwork I experience gives me great job satisfaction.”
Sheila Norville, R.N., Center for Women’s Health

 

 

“I love the family-oriented, smaller environment of my unit. Our day to day work is a true team effort. We really get to know and remember our patients which helps initiate a true patient/nurse relationship. The doctors listen to me, they trust and respect me and I feel they have confidence in my ability to provide excellent nursing care.”
Esther Sutton, R.N., Medical/Surgical Unit

 

 

“ The benefits of working in a smaller hospital are many! People know each other and are personable. Not only that, but we have close parking! Also, our management and our board have seen to it that we have great benefits. No employee cost for health insurance and a wonderful retirement plan mean a lot to me. “
 Elizabeth Duke, RN, Emergency Department

 

 

 

“Because King’s Daughters Hospital is a smaller facility, I have more personal contact with the patients and their families. Being a part of the Heart and Vascular Center since its’ beginning has allowed me to use my years of experience in electrophysiology while learning new skills in the area of heart catheterizations, angiograms, and peripheral interventions.  Competitive pay, friendly working environment, less stress!! What more could a nurse ask for?!"
