Nurse Quality

Sisters of Mercy foundress Catherine McAuley’s strong values influenced her work throughout her life and transformed the delivery of nursing care in her community and society’s approach to nursing. She saw nursing as helping people

to live to their potential and promoted the importance of the nurse's integrity. She fought for compassionate healthcare for people regardless of faith or economic background.
 
She served as an effective advocate on a number of important health issues, particularly for trained nurses and preventive health care through proper hygiene. Her farsighted reforms have influenced the nature of modern health care and helped transform nursing into the respectable profession we know today.

At Mercy, nurses live the strong values that Catherine McAuley demonstrated throughout her life. Mercy nurses are committed to exceptional care and making a difference in the lives of their patients. Mercy has more than 5,000 registered nurses Systemwide with an average of 8+ years of service.
