Nurses are the heart of our mission and the driving force behind the exceptional tender love and care we deliver every day. Supporting their growth isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we invest in with intention and pride. We’re committed to creating alternative career opportunities that empower our teams to lead, innovate, and thrive, both personally and professionally. It’s our honor to support Piercing Nurse Samantha—who has been a valued member of our team for six years—as she participated in an executive leadership program at Columbia Business School. Here’s what Sam had to say about her experience. -- I feel truly fortunate to work for Rowan. From the beginning, they’ve invested time, energy, and resources into my growth. They saw a nurse with determination, curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn—and they didn’t just notice it, they nurtured it. Recently, Rowan sponsored my participation in an executive leadership program at Columbia Business School, where I had the opportunity to learn alongside leaders from around the world. I’ll admit, I was intimidated at first as each member of my cohort introduced themselves and their roles. But it didn’t take long to realize that the experiences and challenges I’ve had at Rowan have equipped me to contribute meaningfully in rooms like that. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m even more grateful to be part of an organization that believes in the value and potential of nurses. ...Show more
