New Graduates


A Letter from Carolyn Webster, Chief Nursing Officer, Senior Vice President

Welcome!

As a healthcare professional for over 30 years, I know firsthand the opportunities and rewards in nursing are boundless. With a nursing degree, you begin a lifetime career path that offers challenge, variety, flexibility, lifelong learning and the satisfaction of helping others.

It’s a very exciting time to enter nursing. Nurses touch people, both literally and figuratively, in a way that very few other professions do. We are on the front line, providing care to patients during some of the happiest and most difficult times of their lives.

We realize that going from student nurse to professional nurse can sometimes be challenging, and we want our new nurses to make a successful transition. At Carilion, we believe in helping our employees develop to their full potential and working together to achieve the best patient outcomes. To help new nurses adjust to their first year, we have an extensive orientation program and a nursing new hire coordinator.

I hope that you will consider joining the Carilion nursing team. Nursing is a noble, rewarding profession, and Carilion is a great place to work.

Carolyn Webster
Chief Nursing Officer, Senior Vice President
