Our core values of Patients First, Excellence, Integrity and Teamwork are at the forefront of the daily work of the team.

Our practice environment encourages diversity in thought, practice, and culture. Northwestern Medicine nurses are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, collaborative, and patient advocates. We believe every nurse is a leader, impacting the lives of others.

Our nurses are encouraged and supported in pursuing continued education and specialty certification.
