Our Model, Leadership & Training

Our Professional Practice Model

Shared Governance Structure

Nursing Residency

Our Professional Practice Model

Nursing at Baptist Health is both a scientific discipline and a compassionate calling. Inspired by the Christian cross, our professional practice model defines how nurses collaborate, communicate, and grow to ensure the highest quality of care at Baptist Health. It is grounded in four key pillars:

  • Clinical Excellence - Delivering competent, ethical, and evidence-based care to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

  • Professional and Personal Development - Advancing nursing through innovation, education, mentorship, research, and lifelong learning.

  • Partnerships - Achieving excellence through collaboration with healthcare professionals and advocacy for those we serve.

  • Servant Leadership - Rooted in a philosophy of serving others first, this leadership approach values people, fosters collaboration, and builds creative, productive teams.

Shared Governance Structure

Baptist upholds the highest standards of nursing excellence, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment. The Shared Governance structure empowers direct-care nurses to actively participate in decision-making and policy development that impact their practice. This creates an open, integrated culture where every voice is valued, and collaboration drives excellence. Below are the councils that support this vision:

  • Nurse Practice - Upholds clinical standards, ensuring evidence-based care, regulatory compliance, and effective patient outcomes.

  • Education - Supports diversity initiatives, fosters a respectful environment, and promotes collaboration between clinical, information services, and technology departments.

  • Nursing Leadership - Provides a forum for key nursing priorities, guiding strategy, care delivery, and quality through interdisciplinary collaboration across patient care settings.

  • Advanced Practice - Provides leadership and direction for APRNs, collaborating to address patient needs and enhance nurse practitioner, specialist, and anesthetist practices.

  • Nursing Peer Review - Enhances performance and autonomy by evaluating nursing care quality against professional standards through a structured peer review process.

Nursing Residency: Developing Nurses for Lifelong Success

The Baptist Health RN Residency is a one-of-a-kind program that develops highly competent, engaged nurses committed to excellence and lifelong learning. Unlike other residencies, it offers hands-on, interactive, clinically focused experiences and personalized professional development, including a career portfolio to set nurses apart throughout their careers.

  • Smaller Class Size for Focused Instruction - Personalized attention enhances learning.

  • Innovative, Flexible Scheduling - Designed to fit your life.

  • Hands-On Clinical Experience - Gain skills and confidence through real-world practice.

  • Flexible Entry Points - Start anytime with year-round admissions.
