'The most rewarding thing about working at Rush is the diverse population I encounter every day.'

My colleagues and I collaborate, communicate and work together on ways to improve our work ethic and engagement with our patients. I can proudly say that I am a better nurse because of that.

"The most rewarding thing about working at Rush is the diverse population I encounter every day," Carla says.

For Carla, one need look no further than Rush's core values to find an explanation for the many awards and recognition we've received for high-quality care.

"The Rush culture is best described through these values — innovation, collaboration, accountability, respect and excellence. We continue to learn each day and look for ways to improve and do our best." 

And having colleagues who share her commitment to Rush's values is, for Carla, helping her grow professionally.

"My colleagues and I collaborate, communicate and work together on ways to improve our work ethic and engagement with our patients," she says. "I can proudly say that I am a better nurse because of that."
