"I can honestly say that I have always wanted to be a Nurse — what I never knew was how much Nursing would become a part of who I am. I graduated from a 4-year college and came directly to GBMC, where I have worked in the Emergency Department for nearly five years. I have seen the hospital evolve and I can truly say that nursing is at its prime here at GBMC. There is something special about the people I work with — you could say that because we work so intimately with each other in a high stress area to better our patients' lives, we have become a second family to each other.
I have the privilege of working side by side with some of the most intelligent, compassionate, hard-working people I have ever met. I like that there are opportunities to grow and become involved in both unit and hospital based initiatives — it is a great feeling to know that we as nurses are able to take control of our practice and create positive change. I see the great impact that becoming a "nurse's hospital" has had on my colleagues, and I love the way we are heading. My co-workers would agree. With the shortage of nurses, we have many choices about where we will work. I see myself working here for years to come. I am proud to say that I am a Nurse and that I work at GBMC."

Pay and Benefits
How do we assure a fair and competitive pay system? GBMC's compensation professionals are constantly monitoring the local, regional, and national markets for accurate salary data. If and when adjustments need to be made based on market movement or supply trends, they respond quickly to make sure that our employees' pay will be comparable. Additionally, performance reviews are held at least annually at GBMC, during which each employee gets specific information about his/her strengths and opportunities for improvement. In most cases, annual salary increases are based on employees' performance ratings.
Benefits at GBMC are designed to enhance the employee's experience both at the hospital and in his/her "outside" world. Several plans for healthcare and dental insurance are offered, for which the hospital pays 75% of the premiums. In addition, vision coverage, short-term disability, employee and dependent life insurance, tuition reimbursement, health club discount, and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) are among our other offerings. Information on these benefits will be explained to you during the interview process.
