Description Our team took care of a mother who had been struck by a drunk driver in a car accident alongside her daughter suffering from fractures in her spine, ribs, and femur. Despite her condition, she desperately wanted to be by her daughters side, who was also being treated for injuries. In just two days, we were able to help the mother regain enough strength to walk out of our unit and reunite with her daughter.
As a valued nursing professional on our Acute Orthopedic Unit, youll help patients regain mobility after fractures, injuries, or chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis. The impact from surgeries and care provided on our unit drastically improves our patients quality of life, so most patients elect for and look favorably upon their stay with us.
Our unit is a great fit for you if:
• You prefer patient progress to be overwhelmingly positive and faster to witness. • You thrive in providing care that is straightforward in nature rather than solving for multiple complex medical comorbidities. • Meeting a variety of patients energizes you. • You aspire to grow into roles such as Unit Leadership or other service lines, including Surgical ICU, Emergency Department, PACU, or Womens Services.
What you will do in this role:
• Deliver high-quality patient-centered care while managing evidence-based practices and continuous improvement initiatives. • Be an integral member of a dynamic interdisciplinary team - consisting of providers, therapy, and more. • Consistently apply the nursing process, critical thinking skills, scientific judgment, technical skills, and leadership to independently deliver safe nursing care to patients. • Assess patient condition, monitor throughout your shift, and document changes in patient condition along with the care provided thoroughly. • Educate patients and families/caregivers about the patients medical condition, treatment, and follow-up measures.
Qualifications Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification must be obtained within 30 days of employment start date. Current Registered Nurse License in the State of Texas or Multi-State Compact License.

At its founding in 1968, Nashville-based HCA was one of the nation's first hospital companies. Today, we are the nation's leading provider of healthcare services, a company comprised of locally managed facilities that includes about 165 hospitals and 115 freestanding surgery centers in 20 states and England and employing approximately 204,000 people. Approximately four to five percent of all inpatient care delivered in the country today is provided by HCA facilities. Richard M. Bracken serves as Chairman of HCA and R. Milton Johnson is the company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
HCA is committed to the care and improvement of human life and strives to deliver high quality, cost effective healthcare in the communities we serve. Building on the foundation provided by our Mission & Values, HCA puts patients first and works to constantly improve the care we give them by implementing measures that support our caregivers, help ensure patient safety and provide the highest possible quality. Investing in our communities is important to us. HCA typically invests about $1.5 billion annually to keep our facilities modern and up-to-date technologically and to expand and add services where needed. Focusing primarily on communities where the company is a leading healthcare provider, HCA selectively adds new facilities in order to better serve our communities.
And because two HCA founders were physicians, we value highly the strong relationships we've created with local physicians. We endeavor to provide them with a wide array of services and modern facilities in order to help them deliver the best possible care.
