Critical Attributes

At Tennova Healthcare, we believe that nursing can be a very fulfilling career, particularly when you are able to make a real difference in a patient's life — it intrinsically affects your own life. We seek nurses who:

  • Listen to patients and understand what they need.
  • We can count on, because you're willing to do what it takes to care for a patient or support the nursing team.
  • Have good organization and communication skills. Being a critical thinker and problem solver are other key elements.
  • Excel at what they do. Some of our best nurses become mentors, showing new grads and the new nurses how to become caring, effective nurses, too.
  • Are alert and responsive to the needs of your patients, as well as the staff and nursing team.
  • Are detail oriented. Nursing requires paying attention to numerous details and prioritizing multiple tasks. We look for nurses who can manage effectively in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
  • Have strong written and verbal skills, and are effective communicators.
