A Message From Our Chief Nursing Executive
Every day, nurses bring hope, healing, and humanity to the lives of those who need it most. Nobody does this better than the nurses at Cooper University Health Care. I am constantly humbled by the privilege I have of leading this world class team of talented and dedicated nurses.
At Cooper, we are passionate about advancing nursing excellence. Our mission is to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where nurses can thrive. We prioritize continuous professional development, clinical excellence, and the well-being of our teams. For new nurse graduates, we offer a personalized orientation program and a comprehensive nurse residency program, complete with peer support and mentorship throughout their first two years. Our experienced nurses also have opportunities for continued career advancement into specialized clinical and leadership roles.
Cooper is a premier academic health system, and our nurses work alongside, and are, some of the world’s leading clinicians caring for the most complex and diverse patient populations in southern New Jersey. Our interprofessional practice supports nursing autonomy and ensures that every nurse’s voice is heard, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
If you are passionate about advancing your nursing career in an environment that promotes learning, growth, and excellence, Cooper is the place for you. Join us and find out why there are nurses—and then there are Cooper nurses.
