    Baton Rouge General prides itself on being one of the best places to work and learn in the area. Our top-rated medical schools produce high quality graduates, many who choose to work here at the General following graduation. The ability to work alongside some of the area's best nurses, most compassionate staff and leading physicians is an opportunity many new graduates are seeking...and find right here at the General.  

    Our culture of caring and compassion is evident in the way our employees treat each other.  They're not just co-workers...they're family. From those who work directly with our patients to those in administrative positions, there are no small roles here at the General.  It takes all of us to create our Community of Caring.

    Direxa Roussel, RN, Telemetry, graduated from Baton Rouge General's School of Nursing in December of 2007. She started her nursing career in New Orleans and immediately noticed something was missing.

    "For my entire life I wanted to be a nurse, I just couldn't understand why I wasn't happy doing something I had worked so hard for," said Direxa. After working in New Orleans for three months, she realized what was missing: the support of the staff that she had grown accustom to when she was doing clinicals at the General.

    "At that moment I realized I had to go back. A hospital could offer me all of the benefits and bonuses available, but a caring atmosphere and compassionate people are most important to me."
