Nursing Professional Practice Model
Our nursing mission “Caring Compassionately, Practicing Professionally” centers around our patients, families, and communities. In the residency program, we will guide you through each of the 5 components of our practice model to advance your professional nursing practice.
Helping our nurses stay healthy
We understand that a healthy caregiver provides better patient outcomes. Your health – mental and physical – is critical for your own success. Our care psychologists and nursing leaders help Wellstar nurses identify resiliency strategies, stress management, and self-care early on so that you can care for yourself – and your patients – throughout your entire career.
