We believe the provision of highly skilled, competent, and compassionate nursing care is essential to fulfill our commitment to excellence in clinical practice, theory, research, and community outreach.
As the largest single health care workforce, nurses play a key role in patient safety – our overriding priority. Our nurses make safe delivery of care their top priority as well, and are rewarded for their efforts, kindness, teamwork, and clear communication.
Lee Health provides opportunities for a variety of nurses:
Lee Health conducts various nursing internship programs throughout the year available to both new graduates and experienced nurses interested in pursuing a different specialty. Each program offers a unique combination of classroom and clinical experiences emphasizing the precepted experience provided with a clinical coach on the nursing unit.
Lee Health uses clinical coaches at each acute care facility. Development and training coaches support staff nurses in question practice, helping them build nursing evidence and experience. We are generating excitement around research questions and evidence-based practice, always encouraging our staff nurses to stay involved, engage in journal clubs, and participate in research projects across the System.
Composed of staff nurses across various specialties, the Clinical Practice Council works with nursing’s senior leadership, educators, and a multidisciplinary committee to make decisions affecting Lee Health nursing and overall direct patient care.
As part of Lee Health, Cape Coral Hospital and its staff work hard each day to provide a safe and healthy environment for patients and visitors. With a focus on safety, prevention, and community connection we encourage you to learn more about our Magnet Journey!
