nursing recuitment and retention

Recognizing the current and anticipated nationwide shortage of nursing personnel, Underwood-Memorial takes a very aggressive and highly effective approach to the issue of nursing recruitment and retention.

First and foremost, we have worked hard to establish and maintain a positive and quality workplace environment in which our clinical staff delivers care to our patients. After all, we want our employees to like working here and we want to attract and retain new employees who will continue to help us serve our community and the patients who entrust us with their care.

Additionally, Underwood-Memorial Hospital has initiated a number of financial incentives and awards to help attract and retain the skilled and compassionate nurses that make us the special place to work and deliver the clinical skills our patients rely upon.

We offer a broad range of academic achievement awards and advanced degree bonus programs while providing additional education scholarship assistance and tuition forgiveness for new and current UMH nurses. Liberal referral and highly competitive sign-on bonuses are offered.

For specific and particular information about our various levels of financial assistance related to nursing recruitment and retention please contact our Nurse Recruiter at (856) 686-5242.
