Nursing Support

At Geisinger, we’ve built a culture of kindness and support that extends beyond patient care. We regularly come together to lift each other up, whether that’s through our PTO donation program where employees have donated 10,000 PTO hours to help colleagues who welcomed a new baby, or our expanded benefits package that includes fertility coverage and added adoption assistance.

As a member of our vital nursing support team, you’ll be given the tools you need to deliver the necessary technical and clinical services to patients across our system. For over 100 years, we have been committed to the service of caring for our communities and each other.

Key roles

There are various unlicensed and technical roles that are vital to the Geisinger team including:

Patient Care Unit Assistants

Patient Care Unit Assistants play a key role in supporting our nurses to perform a wide range of clerical duties and direct patient care activities.

Nursing Assistants and Surgical Technicians

Nursing Assistants and Surgical Technicians are the most popular of many opportunities.

Nursing Assistants without experience

Nursing Assistants without experience are offered education in the Nursing Assistant Residency program — a two-week course offered in collaboration with local community colleges (Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit, Harrisburg Area Community College, and Lackawanna College).

Technicians

Technicians in various fields — radiology, surgery, cardiology — have many opportunities to expand skills and build rewarding careers.
