Nursing
Welcome to Nursing at Holy Spirit Hospital
Dear Colleague,
We welcome your interest in Holy Spirit Hospital. Here at Holy Spirit we have a rich heritage of caring for those in need as we follow in the work of our founding sponsors, the Sisters of Christian Charity. Please take the time to get to know us.
It is a true privilege for me to serve with my nursing colleagues at Holy Spirit Hospital. Our nurses embrace a passion for excellence, serving with distinction and exemplifying the "Spirit of Caring" through Relationship-Based Care.
Our nurses are our treasured resource and deserve an environment that supports professional practice and recognizes their contribution. Professional Practice Councils are the foundation for empowering staff nurses to work with a high level of autonomy, managing their clinical practice and working environment. Our councils provide an infrastructure for our nurses to work with their colleagues to create consistent, evidenced based nursing care throughout our hospital.
High quality nursing leadership is a keystone of high quality care. I am blessed with a leadership team characterized by impeccable integrity and ethics, visibility to our staff, patients and families, a mindset of mutual respect, continuous learning and professional collegiality.
I am thrilled to be a part of the Holy Spirit nursing team and honored to work with such awesome nurses. Consider Holy Spirit as you make the decision where you will practice. The environment and opportunities here are phenomenal. The future of nursing is here.
Sincerely,
Lisa F. Lewis, MSN, RN, NEA-BC

Philosophy
Nursing at Holy Spirit Hospital is driven by and supportive of the Mission, Vision, and Values of Holy Spirit Health System. We believe the provision of highly skilled, competent, and compassionate nursing care is essential to fulfill Holy Spirit Health System's commitment to excellence in clinical practice, education, and nursing research.
The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses, American Nurses Association Social Policy Statement, the Catholic Religious and Ethical Directives, Relationship-Based Care and the Nurse Practice Act of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania provide the cornerstone of our nursing practice and patient care.
Professional nursing is both an art and a science based upon a combination of knowledge, skills, expertise, and the provision of care. The discipline of nursing provides a unique contribution in disease and injury prevention, health promotion, maintenance and restoration and support of patients and their families throughout their life span.
Our framework for providing nursing care is relationship-based. Relationship-based Care is provided through three key relationships for every nurse at the point of care: with patient and family, with self, and with colleagues.
Our view of life as a precious gift guides our approach to nursing, incorporating our professional values of respect, dignity, wholism, service, stewardship, quality and integrity, as well as, creativity and commitment to excellence.
Effective nursing practice, education, research, and leadership are grounded in the complexity of human relationships. As critical thinkers, nurses systematically assess situations, define problems, identify goals, plan, implement and evaluate the care provided by self and others in order to achieve successful outcomes.
