Job Summary and Qualifications

"What I love about being a Medical Surgical nurse is the diversity of things you see on a daily basis - you're always learning something new every day. The people around me are very supportive - from the Charge Nurses to my coworkers, up to management – everybody makes me feel valued and supported. It's definitely a good learning environment, especially just coming out of nursing school. This is my first nursing job and I can say that I've really learned and grown a lot." 

- Nixie Pascual, Medical Surgical RN at HCA Healthcare
