Our expansive network offers something for every nurse, along with career opportunities that other organizations can’t match. From our six-time Magnet-designated UAB Hospital and award-winning community hospitals to a vast network of clinics and specialty care sites across central Alabama, our nurses play a vital role in every setting.

    Why Our Nurses Love Working at UAB Medicine

    • Ander Lopez Castillo

      I genuinely feel like I’m seen as a valuable member of the health care team. When I have input, I feel like it’s appreciated, and it’s respected as what I feel is best for my patient at the time. Just like I advocate for my patients, I feel like UAB has advocated for me in a lot of ways.

    • Dorothea Rutledge

      UAB Medicine stands out among other organizations because its nursing program is Magnet-designated and because nurses continually work to improve patient care, with the inclusion of evidence-based practices as a major component.
