Why do nurses choose San Antonio Community Hospital (SACH) to practice their nursing careers?

It is the numerous nursing opportunities in our multi-specialty environment that allow us to assume a leadership role and provide more effective patient care. SACH is committed to helping you find the specialty that is right for you and supporting your development and growth throughout the duration of your nursing career.

Education

Education is power and new technology is key. They are the difference between good nurses and great nurses. At San Antonio Community Hospital (SACH), we empower you to be a great nurse every day and at every step in your career.

Providing a support system that fosters an environment of clinical excellence, SACH's nurse managers and educators provide the educational link between nurses, physicians, patients, and patient families. We provide:

• As many as two managers or educators for each nursing specialty
• Numerous higher educational offerings, such as an on-site RN-to-BSN program
• College loan forgiveness
• Tuition reimbursement
• In-house continuing education, certification, and re-certification classes for free
• Skills lab featuring a simulated patient room for practicing clinical skills
• One-on-one training

The process of ongoing learning and education is more than knowledge at SACH. It's our way of nursing. It's our way of life.
