The Balancing Act: Working and Living in California

At Providence, we believe if you have a healthy work/life balance, you enjoy life. And what could be better than that? Especially since your patients and your career will benefit as well. That’s why we offer many inventive programs and initiatives to help you achieve this balance.

In addition to competitive salaries, we offer an excellent variety of benefits, such as medical, dental, vision and flexible pension plans. In fact, nurses receive an employer paid pension, sign-on bonuses for specific units, relocation allowance and a $5k student loan repayment program. Registered Nurses also receive financial awards or paid overtime in recognition of higher levels of achievement like B.S.N or M.S.N.

To specifically help the women of Providence deal with the challenges of working and caring for families, we formed the Women’s Mentoring Network, or WMN (pronounced “women”). It’s a network and forum that invites both clinical and non-clinical female employees to discuss ideas about work/life balance —what it means, how to achieve it and what Providence can do help.

Another reason Providence is a special place to work is our locations. Whether you work in California, Alaska, Montana, Oregon or Washington, you have the opportunity to live in excellent neighborhoods, with access to some of the best lifestyles, outdoor adventures and cultural activities in the U.S.

By working in California, you also gain membership in the LifeBalance Program. It’s a program that offers you access to a wide range of discounts and savings on recreational and cultural activities like massage, yoga, whitewater rafting and more with a valid Providence employee ID card.
