Baptist Health Care is looking to expand its nursing workforce as patient volumes increase and the health care organization prepares for additional growth, including plans to add 40 acute care beds at the Baptist Hospital campus.

The Pensacola-based organization is recruiting registered nurses to work across its hospitals, medical parks and clinics, a news release said. Opportunities are available for experienced nurses, recent graduates and professionals interested in advancing their careers.

Joyce Nichols, APRN, FNP-BC, CWON, vice president and chief nursing officer, said Baptist Health Care aims to provide an environment where nurses feel valued and find purpose in their work.

"A great nursing career is more than a job,” Nichols said in the release. “It's about being part of a team where your contributions are valued and your work has meaning. That's the kind of workplace environment we foster at Baptist."

Prospective nurses can learn more about available positions and meet with hiring leaders during several upcoming recruitment events.

Baptist Health Care will hold new graduate registered nurse open interviews on Thursdays, Nov. 19, Dec. 3, Dec. 10 and Dec. 17. The interviews will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on the sixth floor of the human resources department at the Bear Family Foundation Health Center, 125 Baptist Way in Pensacola.

An RSVP is available through the Baptist RN Interviews – Fall 2026 registration form located online at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/VqkS85d8rU.

The organization also will host a broader nursing recruitment event, titled "New Year, New Nursing Opportunities," from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 7, 2027. The event will be held in the second-floor conference room at the Bear Family Foundation Health Center.

Both events offer prospective candidates an opportunity to explore nursing positions and learn about the benefits of working for Baptist Health Care.

As the organization marks 75 years of service, it continues to invest in its facilities, advanced technology and workforce while maintaining its commitment to the communities it serves.
