Nursing

The Mount Sinai Health System is home to a deep bench of advanced practice nurses, who are committed to the health of our patients and community. In addition to having extensive bedside experience, an advanced practice nurse—such as a nurse practitioner (NP) or certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA)—has undergone advanced education, including a master’s degree. In the case of NPs, this training allows advanced practice nurses to function as providers, with responsibilities such as diagnosing conditions and prescribing medications. 

Every area of the Mount Sinai Health System now includes advanced practice nurses, from primary care and ambulatory settings to specialties such as orthopedics, neurosurgery, surgery, cardiology, and more. Another key area of advanced practice nursing is midwifery, which involves skilled care for everything from prenatal visits through delivery. 

As with any provider, advanced practice nurses maintain up-to-date board certifications and competency requirements, and participate in professional conferences. In many ways, NPs and other advanced practice nurses function as the glue between the nursing and physician worlds. Through their dedication and training, advanced practice nurses contribute a great deal to promoting the team approach that helps patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

For patients, nurses are bedside champions who learn each person’s individual needs and become their best advocates. For clinicians, nurses are integrators who contribute their intimate patient perspectives to the entire care team to achieve the best possible outcomes.

From coordinating complex medical care across multiple specialties to monitoring medications and operating life-supportive devices, critical care nurses are involved in every aspect of our patients’ treatment and recovery. Often, in intensive and progressive care units, patients are physically unable to speak for themselves. Our nurses serve as a voice for both patients and their loved ones. They communicate and coordinate care with all members of our interdisciplinary team including physicians, surgeons, pharmacists, respiratory and rehabilitation therapists, and social workers. Nurses also educate and support family members about medical treatments, the hospital environment, and goals of care.

In 2014, The Mount Sinai Hospital earned Magnet status from the American Nurses Credentialing Center for the third consecutive year for our team’s unwavering dedication to patient care and nursing excellence.

Nurses are an important part of the rehabilitation process. They assist patients in progressive mobility. Our nurses collaborate with physical, occupational, and respiratory therapists to develop an early mobilization plan individualized to the patient’s needs. Research has shown that the less time patients are bedridden, the earlier they can leave the ICU and hospital and return to their normal routine.

Specialized Training and Advanced Certifications

Our nurses are educationally prepared with a minimum of a baccalaureate degree in nursing. In addition to critical care nursing knowledge and expertise in his or her specialty, all nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support. Many nurses have specialized certification in critical care, neuroscience, and medical-surgical nursing and work collaboratively with physicians and support staff to provide exceptional patient care using evidence-based practice throughout our intensive care and progressive care units.

Jovanie Guerrier, BSN, RN: "Mount Sinai Health System's reputation for delivering high-quality care and offering attractive benefits drew me to this organization.

To future RNs embarking on this journey, I would say that while you might not always feel appreciated, your relentless efforts will have a significant impact on your patients and their families.

Drusilia Gutierrez, BSN, RN: "9 West is a 34-bed step-down unit, primarily caring for respiratory-dependent individuals who require complete care. During nursing school, I completed my clinical experience at Mount Sinai Morningside and was immediately drawn to the supportive atmosphere and wealth of learning opportunities. When I interviewed at Mount Sinai Health System, I knew this was the right place for me. Even in the busy waiting area, I noticed that no one was left to fend for themselves. 9 West is a demanding unit with high-acuity patients and constant activity, but our team never lets another nurse feel alone. As a new nurse, even during orientation, I felt 100% supported. Our staff is diverse and incredibly close-knit—we're like a family. We support each other through work challenges, personal hardships, losses, and celebrations. The family atmosphere and positive attitudes make me look forward to coming to work every day. This is actually my second career; my first was in law enforcement. It's never too late to change paths, and I believe I've found the career I was always meant to have in nursing. The fulfillment and purpose I experience have confirmed that this is where I belong. My experience has instilled in me a strong desire to mentor the next generation of nurses. I want them to feel the same level of support I did, to have opportunities to learn and grow both professionally and ethically. It's crucial that they integrate their knowledge and experiences during clinical practice and feel empowered as they develop into competent, compassionate nurses."
