Description

We are 64 beds divided up on 3 floors. We are the second largest Rehab hospital within HCA. We are med-surg, neuro and ortho all rolled in to one unit – a variety of patient populations with the option to see many different diagnosis (spinal cord injury, stroke, cardiac, brain injury to name a few). Our patients stay on average 10-14 days so you have a lot of time to get to know them versus in acute care where there is a very fast patient turnover. Our nurse to patient ratio on days is 5:1 and nights is 6:1. We see everything that the acute care sees – telemetry, dob hoffs, peg tubes, trachs, LVADs, PICCs, ports etc.

We offer you an excellent total compensation package, including competitive salary, excellent benefit package and growth opportunities. We believe in our team and your ability to do excellent work with us. Your benefits include 401k, PTO medical, dental, flex spending, life, disability, tuition reimbursement, employee discount program, employee stock purchase program, and student loan repayment.
