About This Role
Alright, let's talk about this nursing job. It's at Encompass Health in Harrisburg, PA, and I'm looking for a new or nearly new Registered Nurse who wants to start their career the right way. This isn't just another floor position; it's a structured 9 month residency program built specifically for nurses with less than one year of experience. Think of it as your launchpad.
The Role & The Program
You'll be joining a rehab hospital, which is a different world. Your focus is on patient recovery, building those relationships, and being part of the small daily victories that lead to someone going home. You'll work directly with patients and collaborate across departments to make sure care is coordinated.
The residency itself is the main event. It's designed to build your confidence through extended orientation, shadowing different specialists, focused education sessions, and even an evidence based project. You're not thrown into the deep end; you're given the tools to swim, and you'll do it alongside a cohort of other new nurses for support.
What You Need to Bring
- A valid RN license for the state.
- CPR certification is required; ACLS is a nice bonus if you have it.
- You should have less than one year of nursing experience. This program is built for new grads or those just starting out.
Benefits & Perks (They Start Day One)
- Medical, dental, and vision plans that are actually affordable for you and your family, whether you're full or part time.
- Paid time off that builds up as you're here.
- Help with tuition if you want to continue your education.
- A 401(k) with a company match and an employee stock purchase plan.
- Flexible spending and health savings accounts.
- You're walking into a team that's genuinely passionate about rehab care. The place has won "Best Companies to Work For" awards for a reason.
The Bigger Picture
Encompass Health is a major player in inpatient rehabilitation with over 150 hospitals. They're growing. That means stability and real opportunities down the line. The culture here; they call it The Encompass Health Way; is about empathy, doing what's right, and standing together. It sounds like corporate speak until you see it in action with patients every day.
