Nursing Careers at Newport Hospital
Meet Our Nurses

Susanne Bliven, RNSusanne Bliven, RN 
Surgical Services

As an employee of Newport Hospital for the past twenty years, I have worked as a dietary aide, unit secretary, nurse's aide and a registered nurse. Newport Hospital has always provided me with opportunities for growth. With the help of tuition reimbursement and a specially designed RN to BSN program through Salve Regina University, I am now pursuing my bachelor's degree in nursing.

My current position is in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Caring for different developmental ages and levels of acuity allows me to use my critical care and emergency room nursing skills.

Living in this community is delightful—the beautiful beaches in the summer, the country roads in the fall—and my children are fortunate to attend one of the highest rated elementary schools in the state. Working in a community-based hospital has always been a positive experience for me and I believe patients and their families find comfort in seeing a familiar face.

Join us as we continue to provide the highest quality patient care in one of the most beautiful places imaginable.
