Clinical Ladders and Portfolios

Centegra’s Clinical Ladder allows nurses to remain the direct provider of patient care while receiving recognition and rewards for their increased expertise and contribution in their clinical area.The professional portfolio enables all of our nurses to demonstrate their commitment to a lifelong journey of learning as well as to demonstrate their efforts and achievements in clinical competency.

Relationship-based Care

We achieve successful outcomes for our patients by building a trusting relationship involving the patient, the patient’s family and all necessary team members.Through caring and interdisciplinary collaboration, we provide a healing environment.

Evidence-based Care

Within the context of caring, we seek to provide all of our patients with care based on the best available research, evidence-based theories as well as our clinical expertise.We gather information from the patient history and physical exam and also listen to the preferences of our patients.

Orientation

Many members of the Shared Governance Councils support our new Associates as preceptors and mentors to help them make the transition into their new positions.The orientation is individualized to meet the specific needs of the new Associates and ongoing classes are provided.
