CONWAY REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM
ADVERTISING FEATURES
After 20 years of caring for patients, Lori Reynolds, RN, wouldn’t consider working anywhere but the Conway Re- gional Health System. Reynolds is the cancer outreach coordinator and a reg- istered nurse in the short-stay outpatient unit. “It’s family. It’s where I take care of my neighbors and friends,” Reynolds said.
Conway Regional has a family- oriented workplace culture, competitive employee benefits, advancement oppor- tunities and lower nurse-to-patient ra- tios compared to other hospitals in the state. These are just a few reasons that many new graduates and experienced nurses join the Conway Regional family every day. However, the real reason that heads are turning for a second look is the recently restructured compensation packages. Nurses no longer have to hit the interstate in order to find market- competitive rates.
The Conway Regional Health System
currently employs a team of more than 600 licensed and unlicensed nursing staff. More than 390 of those employees are registered nurses. For more details, call 501-513-5311 or visit www.conway regional.org/nursing.
Registered nurses already handle complex medical and administrative duties, all while demonstrating com- passion for patients and families. For many years, nurses’ roles have been expanding as a result of advances in medical knowledge, a shortage of primary-care physicians and society’s overall need to constrain health care costs.
Increasingly, RNs are also being asked to pursue higher levels of edu- cation — almost 80 percent of nurse employers strongly prefer to hire nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
Fortunately, working RNs can now earn the bachelor’s degree they need entirely online, from a recognized pub- lic university — Arkansas State Uni- versity, where the RN-to-BSN program is affordable, flexible and accessible. Americans trust nurses, and nurses can
trust A-State to deliver the learning and credentials they need to advance their careers.
