Nursing Opportunities

The CHRISTUS St. Patrick Nurse

"I made a commitment to St. Patrick a long time ago because of the help they’ve given me. Nursing is my calling. It is very rewarding. And the benefit of it is that I get a paycheck for doing what I love to do."
—Ella Burns, L.P.N.

Nurses Are Our Heroes

The nursing Associates at CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital skillfully blend art and science in their daily heroic care of patients. Being a nurse takes a scientific mind, technological know-how, a compassionate heart and healing hands. But our nurses are heroes in yet another way. Each day they help fulfill the Mission of CHRISTUS Health to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.

We believe in giving nurses the opportunity to promote, conserve and restore a patient’s physical health and help patients reach their highest level of mental and social well-being. At CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital, our nursing program provides healing for the mind, body and spirit. Utilizing this philosophy with a multidisciplinary approach to care, our nurses strive to help our patients achieve their optimum level of health.
