Surgical Technologist

Alright, let's talk about this RN role in Day Surgery at HCA Houston Healthcare Clear Lake. I've been placing folks here for years, and their surgery teams are solid. This is a real chance to use your skills in a place that actually invests in its people.

The Work

You'll coordinate nursing care for your assigned patients in the unit. It's about providing quality care tailored to the patient's age and needs; physical, psychological, educational, safety, all of it. You'll use your independent judgment throughout the whole nursing process: assess, plan, implement, evaluate.

What You Need to Bring

• You have to be a graduate from an accredited school of Nursing.
• A current Texas license as an RN is non negotiable.
• You also need a current BCLS issued from the American Heart Association.
• They're looking for at least one year of Day Surgery experience as a licensed RN in an acute care setting. That means experience in Ambulatory, Surgery, Outpatient, Same Day, SDS, Pre Operative, Pre Op, Intra Op, or Discharge settings.

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing would be great to see; it's preferred but not a hard requirement if you've got the experience.

The Good Stuff (The Benefits)

Look, they back up their talk with a serious package. Here’s what they put on the table:

• Health & More: Comprehensive medical coverage with low copays for many services. It includes prescription drug and behavioral health coverage. You get free telemedicine and free AirMed medical transportation. Then there are options for dental and vision benefits, life and disability coverage.
• Financial Security: A 401(k) Plan with a 100% match on 3% to 9% of your pay (based on your years of service). There's an Employee Stock Purchase Plan where you can buy HCA Healthcare stock at a 10% discount.
• Support Systems: Free counseling services for emotional, physical and financial wellbeing. Family support through fertility and family building benefits with Progyny and adoption assistance.
• Life Help: Referral services for child, elder and pet care; even home and auto repair or event planning. Consumer discounts through Abenity and Consumer Discounts programs.
• Future Planning: Retirement readiness help and preferred banking partnerships. Education assistance covering tuition support, student loans, certification support, even dependent scholarships.
• Time Off & Recognition: They have a Time Away From Work Program covering paid time off (PTO), paid family leave (PFL), long- and short term disability coverage (LTD/STD), plus leaves of absence (LOA). There’s also a colleague recognition program to celebrate wins.

A Bit About the Hospital

The facility is over 530 beds; it's big enough to have serious resources but still feels like a community hospital where people know each other. They've been around since '72 with over 2000 staff members now. They're part of the HCA Houston Healthcare system which gives you stability. It’s worth noting they're specifically looking for someone who wants this path in Day Surgery; it's not just any floor nursing gig. Eligibility for all those benefits can vary by location (Houston, TX). If this sounds like your next move based on what you actually need; the license, the year of acute care day surgery experience; then let's go. Apply below.
