Sharp Grossmont Career Path and Professional Development

Sharp Grossmont Hospital encourages and promotes career advancement and professional development among our nurses. The Clinical Ladder is a method designed to recognize and reward an individual nurse for developing clinical expertise and give the nurse progressive responsibility and authority for practice. It provides nurses who have developed their practice an opportunity to voluntarily apply for advancement.

Multiple growth and advancement opportunities such as charge, preceptor, lead, advanced clinician exist in each patient care area at Sharp Grossmont. Nursing leadership continuously communicates these opportunities and encourages all staff.
