No day is ever the same for medical/surgical nurses. Providing care for a range of patient needs, medical/surgical nurses are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of skills and areas of knowledge. At HCA, the team-based approach requires every nurse to step up and perform as a leader.
Medical/surgical nurses are instrumental in the long-term recovery of a patient, as they provide teaching and preparation to help transition after hospitalization.
For many nurses, this level of responsibility is truly rewarding, as they’re able to directly make a difference in patients’ lives. They also have the chance to benefit the patient’s family too, as they help administer to their needs.
HCA also encourages our medical/surgical nurses to impact lives beyond patients and their loved ones, by giving back to the healthcare community. Our nurses are given the chance to mentor students, ranging from high school through graduate nursing programs. Guiding emerging healthcare professionals not only supports up-and-coming nurses in their careers, but also keeps current nurses passionate about their jobs.
In fact, we want to make sure that passion for nursing and drive to excel never fades. Therefore, we maintain an ongoing commitment to the continued development of our medical/surgical nursing staff. Our incentive programs provide bonus pay and other rewards for achieving professional certifications and advancements. For more information on the specifics of our bonus plans, please click here.
