More about Catholic Health
If cardiac work is your lane, St. Francis is New York State’s only specialty-designated cardiac center; Cath Lab RNs there circulate and scrub diagnostic and PCI procedures, admit and recover patients, and take call. Delivery Room roles at Mercy build in on-call without a fourth on-call shift each month, and Pain Management RNs stay with patients before and after procedures. New graduates can step into the Nurse Residency / Graduate Nurse Residency Program, with unit-based preceptors, site-based educators, simulation, and a paid orientation stretch. Tuition reimbursement and mentorship are on the table for advancement. The workforce is union-represented; nurses at Good Samaritan/St. Charles recently ratified a three-year contract with base wage increases. Staffing has been a live issue. At St. Charles, NYSNA documented NICU assignments of one nurse to five babies, ED units rarely staffed to contract, and hundreds of monthly staffing complaints, culminating in a 2024 strike notice after nearly 200 safe-staffing law findings. You will want to ask any hiring manager how your target unit is staffed today before you sign.
Employee handbook addresses mission and values, EEO, anti-harassment, Just Culture, orientation, and transfers.
