As a Nurse at LRMC, your caring hands and educated mind are key to our ability to provide the highest quality of care to our patients and comfort to their families. You actually improve lives by delivering exceptional healthcare. In recognition of this, we work hard to support your growth and your career goals.

We also believe that all nurses should be actively involved in the decision making that affects their practice. At LRMC, you have a voice in determining standards of care. Our Nursing Participative Governance structure actively supports these principles and facilitates the professional practice of our nurses. It enables you to take control of your practice and increases your professional satisfaction. Further, it helps us to ensure a single, uncompromising standard of nursing care for patients throughout our hospital.
