Career Opportunities
“
HCA is at the forefront of developing programs that will help attract and retain the nurses of tomorrow. The Specialty Nurses Training Program is just one example of how we’re doing this.”
Thao Nelson, Strategic Sourcing Manager for HCA


Hospital Corporation of America is committed to developing our nursing programs at every facility. Traditionally, nurses who want to work in areas such as the ICU, ED and the NICU spend a year or two on the medical/surgical floor before applying for specialty training for these more intense positions. However, a new nursing school training program at HCA has sped up the process and proven beneficial to both nurses and hospitals.

This program – called the Specialty Nurses Training Program – allows student nurses with no graduate experience to undergo longer, more intense nursing school training, enabling them to learn and proactive more specialized skills before they ever reach the hospital floor. As a results, they’re ready for these traditionally understaffed areas straight out of their nursing programs.

HCA is committed to helping Nurses achieve their goals professionally and personally. Come join our team!
About HCA
In the 1960s, Dr. Thomas Frist, Sr. led an effort by a group of physicians to build Park View Hospital in Nashville, Tenn. By the mid-1960s, Dr. Frist and other Park View physicians were seeking a group to manage the hospital and provide capital to expand and to maintain the latest medical technology. In 1968, Dr. Frist, Jack C. Massey and Dr. Thomas Frist, Jr. formed their own hospital management company - Hospital Corporation of America, today known simply as HCA.
Soon HCA decided to expand the scope of its venture by assembling a group of hospitals, in order to create economies of scale and enhance the quality of care in communities across the country. One of the nation's first hospital companies, HCA worked closely with local physicians and used innovative business practices and private capital to improve quality and reduce costs.
The company grew rapidly, building new hospitals in under-served communities, acquiring facilities and contracting to manage hospitals for other owners. Using its financial resources, management expertise and medical background, HCA focused on a core group of market-leading hospitals, an operating strategy it employs today.
Diversity
“
Hospital Corporation of America started the Hispanic Scholarship Fund at a local Community College in 2004 and used HCA Cares funds to continue it as the Latino RN Program in 2005 due to it’s success. Since we started the Hispanic Scholarship Fund/Latino RN Program, we have ushered five Hispanic students into the program, helping to fill a cultural void at HCA facilities. When finished with the nursing programs, the students will enter the nursing workforce at an HCA facility.
