Nursing

Nursing at Shawnee Mission Medical Center (SMMC) has always been of critical importance to the patients, families, doctors and associates who make up the SMMC community.  Committed to the standards of leadership, experience, resourcefulness and compassion, SMMC nurses are the cornerstone to the hospital’s continued excellence, respect and success as the most preferred hospital in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Nurses are a key component in helping us provide patient care that is truly Much more than medicine.

Our nurses respond to challenges by continually improving themselves and their work environment for the benefit of SMMC, its associates and patients.  From aiding in emergency room heroics to handling critical care patients with expertise and deep compassion, our nurses confront demanding situations with quick thinking, grace and good judgment. By supporting each other and working together, we are able implement and devise long-term goals and solutions to improve and strengthen SMMC’s long-standing patient care tradition.

Nurses have always been an integral part of the planning process for the future and their contributions are not undervalued.  With the recent expansion of SMMC and the addition of the Shawnee Mission Outpatient Pavilion at Prairie Star Parkway, nurses will be even more vital to SMMC’s success.

Our nurses have endless opportunities to learn practical to profound lessons, and the daily ability to significantly impact the lives of patients and their families.  By investing in the education and training of our nursing staff, our goal is to empower and challenge SMMC nurses to make the most of every opportunity for professional and personal growth for further excellence in all of nursing practice.
