What being an RN at KVH is all about…

“I wanted to be a nurse since I was a freshman in high school. I'm social, a talker. I love people and I love making them feel better. I knew if I became a nurse I could work anywhere - and I've never met a nurse who says they regret being a nurse.” Kara Henderson, SOP RN

Our nurses are dedicated, progressive and want to be with a winning team. That’s why they choose KVH and stay with KVH. The average nursing staff tenure with our organization is 8.5 years with some having spent more than 30 years with us. KVH nurses have created a culture within a culture that is supportive and close – they operate as a seamless orchestra with the patient at the focus of their care.
