Dr. Rassilyer-Bomers, interim CNO for Providence’s North Division, oversees 8,006 registered nurses and administrators across Providence Swedish and Providence Alaska. Her leadership has resulted in significant improvements in productivity, staff development and nurse retention, including a 15% reduction in overall turnover and a 27% drop in first-year nurse turnover. She introduced a nursing apprenticeship program during Covid-19, allowing students to fulfill clinical hours while working as nurse technicians, which eased the burden on their personal lives and encouraged post-graduation employment. Dr. Rassilyer-Bomers also expanded the Simulation Center at the Swedish Cherry Hill hospital campus in Seattle, offering cutting-edge training for emergency care. A key advocate for nursing professionals, she has played a vital role in government relations, labor negotiations and vaccine distribution efforts.
