Nursing
Holy Cross Hospital nurses hold themselves to high standards in carrying out their sacred work. We ensure our nurses have what they need to provide the finest patient experience possible through quality, compassionate, holistic care.
The nursing organization upholds an open and transparent culture where input and dialogue are encouraged. Our shared governance model gives Holy Cross nurses the forum to communicate new ideas and be involved in decisions that directly affect their work. Our leadership recognizes the important value and insight nurses bring. Taren Ruggiero, our Chief Nursing Officer, has been a nurse at Holy Cross Hospital for more than 25 years and is a strong advocate for the nursing practice as a whole. Taren and the leadership team recognize that the person at the bedside is the most impactful voice of process change. We engage nurses in finding solutions and empower them to work autonomously, ultimately enhancing their sense of purpose.
Leadership truly appreciates the work of our nursing teams. Nurses here are recognized and rewarded at all levels of the organization. One way we show our appreciation is through our participation in the DAISY Award, an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary care given by nurses every day. Holy Cross Hospital is proud to be a DAISY Award Partner, recognizing one of our nurses with the special honor monthly. DAISY Award honorees personify our remarkable patient experience. These nurses consistently demonstrate excellence through their clinical expertise and extraordinary compassionate care.
