“I got to see so many things I never experienced during clinicals—like time in Ortho, PACU, and other specialty units.”
“The nurses let me take the lead and practice my skills, which made such a difference in my confidence.”
“The staff was incredibly supportive and helped me feel secure in what I was learning.”
“I was met with kindness in every unit. It made the experience so meaningful.”
“Getting to explore multiple areas was huge. It helped me understand what different units are really like and where I can see myself working.”
From day one, Mercy offers outstanding benefits - including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, tuition support, and matched retirement plans for team members working 32+ hours per pay period.
