At Franciscan, our nurses do not just administer medication, but they actively listen and assess each patient – looking them in the eye and telling them they are seen, heard, and cared for. Every RN is an integral part in providing total comprehensive care to our patients and their families. Our nurses develop a plan of care, including implementing, reassessing, evaluating every patient we are privileged to serve.
