Advancement Opportunities

We’ll help you meet your nursing career goal – whether it’s a promotion or changing your specialty

Advancing Her Career Through Teaching

Sharon Clark, R.N., always thought of herself as a student, especially when she returned to college after raising her children. Now, she’s a teacher. She’s advancing her career by teaching student nurses on the transitional open heart unit. She’s paid a stipend to teach two students during eight days, providing them support and guidance as they care for patients.

At Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network, you have the opportunity to advance your nursing career. Whether your career goal is a promotion or changing your specialty, we’ll help you achieve it.

Moving up

Staff nurses often are promoted to management positions. You can continue to care for patients at the bedside while taking on managerial responsibilities, such as staff schedules, staff education and staff mentoring. To help you get to the next level, we also offer you mentoring and leadership training. Some promotions may require additional education. We offer scholarships, tuition reimbursement and other opportunities to help you go back to school.

Changing your specialty

We want to make sure you are in the position that’s right for you. We offer internships and specialty courses in areas including critical care, medical-surgical, operating room and pediatric critical care for R.N.s. You are able to develop and apply your clinical knowledge and skills while receiving full salary and benefits.
