In this Nurses Week episode of Nursing Matters, Christina sits down with Cheryl Reinking, Chief Nursing Officer of El Camino Health, to explore what happens when a culture of caring becomes more than a slogan—it becomes the operating system of an organization.

With more than three decades at El Camino Health, Cheryl has advanced through multiple leadership roles before becoming CNO, where she now leads more than 2,000 nurses and support staff. Under her leadership, El Camino Health has earned repeated Magnet recognition for nursing excellence and remains known for compassionate, high-quality care and innovation.

Christina and Cheryl dig into why nurses seeking the right environment should look beyond compensation and ask a deeper question: Does this organization truly invest in its people? From mentorship and professional development to leadership pathways and emotional support, Cheryl shares how intentional culture creates workplaces where nurses can thrive personally, grow professionally, and achieve meaningful career goals.

If you’re a nurse exploring your next chapter—or a leader committed to building stronger teams—this episode offers powerful insights on how caring cultures create exceptional outcomes for both caregivers and patients.
