What
the Nurses Say about Working at Mid Coast
Hospital
"The entire nursing staff in
the ICU are at the top of our clinical
ladder, and many have the national CCRN
[critical care registered nurse] designation.
Collaboration and best practice are
something we are all committed to—taking
care of our patients and taking care
of each other. We are small enough that
we have engagement with our patients
at a level that goes beyond the physical
to the emotional and spiritual. My ideology
has evolved over the years to a level
of confidence that I feel I am able
to impact the lives of other people.
It goes beyond monitors, tubes, IV lines,
and pumps. I truly believe my skill,
understanding, and humor may be the
primary forces sustaining a grip on
life, giving hope and a sense of control
to the patient."

"I love nursing for the privilege
of interacting with people when they’re
facing their most difficult times and
trying to help. Nursing at Mid Coast
revolves around the patient and family
and is set up to support nurses doing
their important work. We are supported
in caring for ourselves, each other,
our patients, and our community."

"I like the way nurses support
nurses at Mid Coast Hospital. We celebrate
our successes and grieve our losses.
We support each other in good days and
bad. We are mentored by those with great
skill one day, and share that knowledge
the next. Together, we practice nursing
as a very cohesive group."

"I love being a nurse at Mid
Coast Hospital for the feeling of family
I get and for being part of a team working
together for the good of the patient.
We are a progressive community hospital
with a wonderfully supportive VP of
Nursing who encourages our professional
development."
