Thank you for your interest in Nursing at The Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH), consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the country and world. Our nurses play an integral role in this reputation of excellence and are widely recognized as being among the best in their profession.

We were appropriately proud when The Mount Sinai Hospital became the first general hospital in New York to be Magnet designated by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, considered the highest award for nursing excellence. Importantly, the hospital has remained Magnet designated in the 20-plus years since. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses also presented four of our patient care units with its prestigious Silver Beacon Award in recognition of exceptional care that puts patients first.

While we appreciate this outside validation of our practice and environment of care, it is the commitment of our 4000-plus nurses, advanced practice providers, and nurse leaders to maintaining a culture of excellence that truly defines the Mount Sinai nurse. We are dedicated, passionate, and supported to center practice around the patient and family; deliver the safest and highest-quality care possible; embrace lifelong learning; advance nursing practice through research and innovation; and bring compassion, advocacy, and respect to every encounter. All knowing that the ultimate beneficiaries will be our patients and those they love.

Again, thank you for your interest in our Nursing Service. I hope you will explore this site to learn more about the many dedicated people, programs, services, and benefits that support our practice. The Mount Sinai Hospital is a wonderful place to be a nurse.

Best,

Linda M. Valentino, DNP, RN, NEA-BC
