Las Vegas, NV – The national publication Nursing Professionals named Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center and Sunrise Children’s Hospital as one of the 2009 “Top 100 Hospitals to Work For” as ranked by nursing professionals. Sunrise is the only hospital in the state of Nevada to be ranked.

More than 25,000 randomly selected hospital nurses throughout the country were surveyed about their job satisfaction. The survey participants answered questions about personal training and development, flexible working arrangements, equality and diversity, and having a strong voice in the hospital.

“In the past two years, one of our top platforms has been to create a ‘voice-up’ culture which encourages nurses to share ideas and have direct access to hospital leaders in order to improve quality, patient care and satisfaction,” said Minta Albietz, chief nursing officer for Sunrise Hospital and Sunrise Children’s Hospital. “We have worked hard to provide a healthy work environment and are honored that nurses nationally have recognized Sunrise as a great place to work.”

Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center was also recently recognized as the Consumer Choice hospital by National Research Corporation for the 13th consecutive year.
