Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare team.

The nurse that is starting off in the 21st century needs to be

someone who is willing to work in a environment where there is a lot of

collaboration.

>> There are amazing opportunities for nurses at Johns Hopkins.

They can start off as a generalist and

work in one of our surgical and medical units.

Or they can go right into a specialty like cardiac surgery,

which is a very exciting specialty given some of the procedures that

are only done here at Johns Hopkins.

And they truly work as part of an interdisciplinary team.

>> If you want to be part of a very intense high functioning team,

the rewards can be incredible.

>> You're encouraged to grow, both academically and professionally.

So it really requires nurses that are interested in increasing their

technical skills, their critical thinking,

as well as their patient advocacy.

>> We have a billion dollar new hospital,

which is absolutely beautiful.

It's all set up to make it easy for all of us to do our job.

>> Nurses here at Johns Hopkins love what they do.

They love what they do in the operating room.

They love the relationship they have with physician who highly value

their skill, expertise and compassion.

>> Doctors, nurses, social workers, go home at night feeling they

are doing something very valuable and very important.
