Stephanie joined Greenwich Hospital nearly 10 years ago as a nurse clinician and has since held various positions, including charge nurse and nurse preceptor. Now assistant patient services manager in the Emergency Department, she helps maintain adequate staffing, contributes to quality assurance initiatives, supervises 48 business associates and ED technicians and provides bedside care during busy times.

Stephanie has made use of the health system’s professional development programs, specialty certification assistance and tuition reimbursement to help advance her career. “This is a nurturing environment that really invests in staff, in addition to providing high-quality, award-winning patient care and experience. Serving as charge nurse, helping to orient new staff, participating in our unit practice council and supporting quality improvement projects all helped develop my leadership skills. Greenwich Hospital’s staff diversity also makes me feel at home. We have many of women and people of color in leadership. I am proud to work for such a dynamic institution.”

"I choose Yale New Haven Health because of the opportunities for growth."

As a housekeeper at Westerly Hospital, Carmen goes into patients’ rooms and cleans everything for them, to make sure it looks good and to ensure that everything is sanitary. She says the best thing about her job is that the hospital gives her opportunities to learn and pursue new positions, and her goal is eventually to become a certified medical lab technician.

Working at Westerly Hospital has given her the opportunity to build strong connections and relationships with a lot of people, “It’s just great to work at a place where the people around you support your aspirations to improve yourself. You can grow your career, or change your career within the organization, and I really feel supported by everyone I interact with.”

Sharee always knew she wanted to work at Yale New Haven Hospital. “Growing up seeing my mother work at YNHH, I knew that there were many opportunities here for a meaningful career with a great salary and benefits,” she said. In 2012, after 12 years in retail pharmacy, she accepted a position at YNHH as a pharmacy technician. From the moment she arrived, she sought out opportunities to grow her skillset by taking on leadership roles with increasing responsibilities. Sharee also embraced the advice of various mentors who guided and encouraged her toward her goals. Today she is the program director for YNHH’s Pharmacy Technician Training Program and manager of education and training for the pharmacy department. “There are plenty of opportunities here to go around,” she said. “My mentors at YNHH have always advocated for me and helped me create a plan to grow.” Sharee now pays it forward and serves as a mentor to program students, technicians and others in her community. “I want to take the good I’ve experienced at YNHH and give it to others to make an impact on their lives as well.”

"I choose Yale New Haven Health because of the tuition reimbursement."

Kelli joined Yale New Haven Hospital while she was finishing nursing school. She decided to go back to school after spending a number of years at the bedside. She earned a master’s degree in nursing education which allowed her to transition to her current role. “I’ve always loved precepting new nurses,” she said. “Now, as an educator, I love seeing nurses getting more confident.”

Kelli took advantage of the tuition reimbursement program to help pay for her master’s degree. “It was a lot of work, but it was worth it in the end,” she said. “Having this degree makes it so much easier to explore all the different career avenues nursing has to offer.”

"I choose Yale New Haven Health because of the peer support."

As a lifelong employee of Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, Ashly has enjoyed the journey and being part of the close-knit L+M community. At age 18, she joined the hospital as a patient care associate (PCA) and later earned her nursing degree. Upon completion, she joined the Neuroscience Unit, working her way up to clinical coordinator and, most recently, to patient care nurse manager. Today, Ashly leads a 45-member team of registered nurses, PCAs and health unit coordinators on a 25-bed unit. While she appreciates the tuition reimbursement program that helped her pay for college, she is particularly grateful for the ongoing support she has received from peers and leadership, encouraging her professional growth. “I’ve grown personally and professionally, and that is very rewarding to me.”

Sarah joined Bridgeport Hospital as a new-grad RN after completing her associate degree at St. Vincent’s College. She loves working in the ED because of the diversity in the cases and the critical care aspect of the work. Despite working full time, she continues to work towards a bachelor's degree. She plans to graduate this summer, earning a BSN. “The tuition reimbursement program definitely helps. It takes so much of the financial pressure off, so you can focus on your schoolwork. That’s huge, especially when you’re also working like I am. I love that I have the ability to continue my education as an ED nurse and the opportunity Bridgeport Hospital has given me to continually grow and learn as a new nurse.” To learn more about career opportunities, visit, https://ynhhs.org/careers/leading-career-opportunities.
