Grow with us
Naomi started as a nursing intern. Today she leads a team of 22.
At Pepper Health, careers are designed to compound. 71% of our managers were promoted from within — here is one journey, and yours could look just as ambitious.
A memorable moment for me was standing up the night-shift residency I wished I'd had — and watching the first cohort become charge nurses.
I never had to leave to grow. Every couple of years there was a new chapter waiting, and a manager who actively wanted me to outgrow them.

Frequently asked questions
Can I self-schedule?
Most inpatient units use self-scheduling in 4-week blocks, with weekend and holiday rotations shared equitably across the team.
Do you pay for certifications?
Specialty certification exams, renewals and review courses are covered — and certified nurses earn a differential.
Is there a nurse residency program?
Yes — a 12-month, accredited residency for new-grad RNs with dedicated preceptors, simulation labs and a cohort that starts together.
What support exists at the bedside?
Clinical resource nurses on every shift, a no-lift equipment program, and unit councils where staff nurses drive practice changes.
