Highlights of Working at SCF

SCF offers multiple nursing roles. Primary care and pediatric nurses work collaboratively one on one with providers to provide whole-person, population based care in a team based environment. With integrated pharmacists, nutritionists, and behavioral health co-located in the clinics, nurses have multiple resources to provide excellent care coordination and follow up. Nurses at SCF build relationships with their customers as well as their interdisciplinary team members. Whether in an outpatient clinic or other areas of the organization providing care, nurses are a respected member of the team.

  • Work Monday-Friday with an occasional evening and Saturday shift, depending on department
  • Practice at top of license in integrated care team environment
Nurses have a unique role as team leaders in their care teams. While each member has an important part of the overall care of the customer-owner, it’s the case manager who orchestrates and confirms the tasks being done by each. SCF also has a mentorship program in which nurses meet with their mentor at least monthly—and more often as necessary—for help, advice, and shared experiences. All-in-all, there are many tools in place to help you feel supported to do your best!”
