Atlantic General Hospital Careers

08/22/2025

"Hi I am Brittany Marvel! I have been with AGH for 5 years now. My current role is ICU Charge Nurse. Though I started here working nightshift on MedSurg, I discovered my passion for critical care after being floated to the ICU to help one evening.

My favorite part of being a nurse is building trust with my patients and their family members. I love knowing that I have made someone’s life a little better even when they’re going through a difficult time. It’s not always about medicine, as much as it is about compassion.

I am proud to work at AGH because of how tight-knit this hospital is. The culture here is incredibly supportive and you really feel part of the team. This applies not only to patient care – we always come together for one another in tough times. I am also proud to be a part of the ICU department, which has received several Daisy awards for teamwork, compassion, and patient advocacy.

One of my goals is to obtain my CCRN (Critical care registered nurse certification) and to continue growing as a resource for new nurses in our unit. I plan to stay with AGH and continue to strengthen my skills in the ICU. The hospitals commitment to excellence and teamwork make it the ideal place to grow long-term.

anyone considering a career in nursing – always remember that nursing is just as much about your presence as it is about procedures. Your calm voice, listening ear, and compassion can be just as healing as any medicine you will give. Never underestimate the power of simply being there for your patient when they need it the most."

NURSE LEADER SPOTLIGHT 🌟

"Hi, I’m Bonita, and I currently serve as the Director of Quality and Infection Prevention at Atlantic General Hospital. I’m proud to have been part of the AGH team for the past five years. My journey here began as a Perianesthesia RN, and I later served as the Manager of the Perianesthesia team in the Surgical Services Department before stepping into my current leadership role.

One of the things I’ve always loved about nursing is the camaraderie—the deep sense of teamwork and mutual support among nurses and care teams. That sense of connection has made every role I’ve held here incredibly rewarding.

What makes me most proud to work at AGH is our mission to care for our community. The entire team at AGH is committed to making our community healthier through accessible, respectful and compassionate care.

One of my proudest accomplishments has been working collaboratively with our teams to improve patient safety and outcomes through sustainable process improvements. These efforts were recently recognized through a successful Joint Commission Accreditation Survey and our well-earned “A” Hospital Safety Grade from Leapfrog.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue collaborating across disciplines and with our shared governance councils to bring evidence-based practices into everyday care. Together, we’re building on our strengths and working toward AGH’s strategic goals for the future.

To those just entering the profession, my biggest piece of advice is: stay engaged and never stop learning. Nursing is always evolving, and keeping up with the latest research and best practices is essential to providing the highest quality care.

I’m honored to be part of the incredible team here at AGH—and even more excited about what’s to come."

NURSING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

"Hi, I'm Makenna and I'm a Registered Nurse on the MedSurg Unit here at Atlantic General Hospital, where I’ve worked for almost a year. I actually started at AGH as a secretary, and it’s been amazing to grow within such a supportive team.

My favorite part of being a nurse is getting to make a real difference in people’s lives—helping patients feel seen, safe, and cared for during some of their most vulnerable moments.

I'm proud to work at AGH because of our strong sense of teamwork and dedication to patient-centered care. Everyone here truly collaborates to give our patients the best possible experience. I also love how we’re encouraged to keep learning and growing professionally.

One accomplishment I'm especially proud of is coauthoring a resolution that was passed by the House of Delegates through the National Student Nurses’ Association while I was still in nursing school. That experience gave me a powerful opportunity to advocate for change on a national level.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue growing as a nurse and hope to pursue certification in a specialty like critical care or oncology.

If I could give one piece of advice to future nurses or CNAs, it would be this: Nursing can be demanding—physically, emotionally, and mentally—but remember why you started. Lean on your team, ask questions, and take care of yourself so you can care for others. It’s the little moments—holding a patient’s hand, advocating for them, or seeing them smile—that make it all worth it. 💙"

NURSING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

“Hi, I’m Diane and I have been with AGH for 21 years now. My current role is an Analyst within the Quality Department. I work with all departments throughout the organization as well as state and federal agencies. I develop reports and submit data on behalf of the hospital. Prior to that, I worked as an RN in many areas of the hospital including PACU, endoscopy and a brief period as PCS. The majority of my time was spent on Med/Surg and ICU as nurse and charge nurse.

I love the fact that this is a small hospital where our patients are often from within my community. We are able to really focus on those that need specific services. As a nurse, I was able to move throughout the departments in the hospital gaining an overall knowledge and understanding of the workflow and departmental obstacles. Not only did that strengthen my clinical background, but it has prepared me for my non-clinical role. AGH allowed me to try different roles that were appropriate for that particular time in my career. AGH has given me some really good colleagues and a few lifelong friends.

My proudest moment at AGH was during COVID; the entire hospital came together to figure things out. A few of us returned to clinical roles to assist in caring for COVID patients. There were multiple levels of support and teamwork from housekeeping, infection prevention, leadership, intensivists -- we all worked together to care for these very sick patients.

I believe we at AGH put forth an honest effort to be the best that we can be and to make our hospital the best that it can be. I look forward to our collaboration with TidalHealth, as our community has grown and being a part of a larger hospital system will allow us to accomplish so much more.”

NURSING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

“Hi, I am Anne and I have been with AGH for nearly 20 years. I am currently a night shift Charge Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit. I have held the same role on the day shift, as well as the role of Patient Care Supervisor.

I chose to come to Atlantic General Hospital for the community. I am a Worcester County local who had grown up in Snow Hill and lived in Berlin. It was always my ultimate desire during my nursing career to return to this area at some point to care for my family, my friends and their families. I had acquired critical care experience in several areas across the country and was ready to bring that knowledge and experience “back home” to care for those who had cared for me during my lifetime.

At Atlantic General Hospital, I have experienced a sense of camaraderie and bonding in the ICU. The staff here is one that holds great respect and care for each other and works well together. There is a respect for those who are part of this health care team that puts their patients first. I am blessed and fortunate to have been able to work with and gain wisdom from some outstanding physicians, fellow nurses and administrators. Some of those who have shown the utmost respect for the gift that nurses bring to the table every day.

I have also gained an added sense of pride and respect while here at AGH. For my family and friends, as well as family and friends of associates here, to ask that I care for them or check in on them gives me great pride that they entrust their care to me.

There are a few moments at AGH that I am most proud of. I have received a couple “DAISY Awards” while here at AGH. One of those DAISY Awards led to the recognition as the “2015 Nurse of the Year." 2023 brought another proud surprise when I was voted “Coastal Style Magazine’s Best of 2023” award winner as “Worcester County’s Best Nurse.” What honors! Not any that I would have expected or desired. It just gives me pride to know that I have made an impact on someone’s life in such a way, just using the gift that I am blessed that God gave to me.

I have been here for almost twenty (20) years and I can honestly say, though bitter sweet, that I see retirement in the near future. I have acquired many meaningful and heartwarming relationships with associates, and yes, some patients while here at Atlantic General Hospital. The respect for these individuals I will hold close at heart, and I will take these bonds into the next chapter of my life. The associates here have poured wisdom and knowledge into my experiences here, with so much respect. I pray I have given the same to them. While I remain amongst the Atlantic General Hospital family, I will continue to do what I’ve always done. That is to be a true advocate for my patients first and my coworkers, especially those new to this profession.

Regardless of where you work, never lose sight of why you chose this profession. It has always been about the person in the bed for me, and the families that wrap themselves around them at some of the worst times in their lives. It is the care that I am gifted to give to them at this unfortunate time. No one wants to be a patient in an intensive care unit. If I can relieve one iota of the stress, if I can alleviate just a second of fear, if I can be a smile on a gloomy day, and if I can be a glimmer of peace in those final hours -- then I have done what is best for my patient. ALWAYS DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR PATIENT. Atlantic General Hospital WILL allow you to do that here.”

NURSING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

“Hi, I am Betty and I have been with AGH for the last 12 years. I began my career at AGH as an RN in the Joint Center. My current role is Patient Care Supervisor and Stroke Program Coordinator.

When I was in nursing school, I had applied to several places that offered scholarships. I was fortunate enough to be offered a scholarship at two different hospitals. I discussed my options with nurses that had worked at both hospitals and they told me I would best fit at Atlantic General. I am glad I made the right choice, and I have been here ever since!

Through working at AGH, I have gained friendships with some truly amazing people. This is a community hospital and you see many of the same patients. When you have that one patient that asks for you and smiles when they see you, it lets you know you are in the right place.

My proudest moment at AGH was when my daughter, Sarah, joined the nursing field and graduated from AGH’s very own Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program.

I am in a position that I truly love. The tasks that come to me daily are diverse and always changing. My end goal is to continue here until my retirement. Joining the AGH team opens a lot of room for opportunity for new team members. We do not have specialized floors so they will get a wide variety of patients that will make them a better overall nurse. There is also opportunity for cross training to other departments. The biggest reason to join the team is the staff themselves. You just will not find a fellowship like this in other places.”

NURSING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

“Hi – I am Laura, and I have been with AGH for 23 years.

My current role is Information Services (IS) Clinical Analyst Supervisor; I was promoted to this role in 2021. I have been a part of the IS clinical team since 2013 as an IS Clinical Analyst. From 2001 to 2013, I began my career at AGH on the Med Surg Unit as an LPN. In 2002, I achieved my RN degree and worked on Med Surg in various roles throughout the years including Staff Nurse, Charge Nurse, Clinical Resource Nurse, Med Surg Clinical Manager, and Director of Med Surg, before transitioning to my current position in Information Services.

I made my decision to apply at AGH following a job fair I attended at DTCC while I was in the nursing program. After hearing about the opportunities available and the positive feedback from nurses working at AGH, I applied for a position. In addition, being close to home and a small community hospital were factors in choosing AGH.

Throughout the years, I have gained valuable nursing clinical skills, enhanced knowledge in different areas of nursing, leadership skills and collaboration with other departments, all of which help to meet the needs of our patients and provide excellent care. I have gained lifetime friendships while being a part of an organization that cares about their associates and provides the ability to expand nursing expertise through different avenues of nursing.

In May 2014, I achieved my BSN. I was able to complete this degree with help of AGH’s tuition reimbursement program and the support from the nursing leadership team.

My future goal is to continue working closely with the AGHS ambulatory offices in order to help the clinical staff and providers meet the needs of their patients through optimizing the workflows and processes in the electronic medical record.

AGH focuses on providing compassionate care to all patients and provides an environment to excel and expand your professional skills. You are always supported and it is a great organization to work for!”

NURSING SPOTLIGHT 🌟

“Hi, my name is Terri and I have been with AGH for two years. I am currently a per diem population health nurse. I chose AGH because I am fairly new to Worcester County. I wanted to connect with the community and at the same time use my nursing skills. I am passionate about health promotion. When I learned about the opportunity at AGH, it was a perfect fit. I come from a small community where I was the outreach educator. I was excited to learn that similar opportunities existed here. Joining AGH as a population health nurse has provided me the opportunity to have meaningful connections in the county.

I am proud to work with a dedicated group of nurses who care so much about the health/wellness of our community. I am proud of the work that we do. I would like to continue to reach the diverse populations we serve through a variety of programs -- anything ranging from falls prevention to living well with chronic conditions.

As a nurse at AGH, we are in a position to connect with our neighbors and other members of the community who we have not even met yet. If you join the AGH team, you have the opportunity to be part of a dedicated team of health care professionals.”
