Members of our Staffing and Onboarding teams in St. Petersburg visited their local Ronald McDonald House to cook dinner for 35 families. The group prepared and served beef and chicken fajitas, guacamole, rice, and salad. We would like to thank our St. Pete team for a job well done!

Our Dallas office hosted a back-to-school shoe drive to support local children in need. The team collected 62 pair of shoes that will be distributed through the Oak Gardens Church of Dallas. We would like to thank all of our team members who contributed to this worthy cause!

Congratulations to Francis "Sonny" Combs on earning a DAISY Award! Sonny is a nurse at the Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at TriStar Centennial Medical Center who truly touched the lives of a patient and his family. Sonny's DAISY Award nomination can be read in full below:

The July 2018 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Report revealed that 157,000 jobs were created last month and the unemployment rate dipped to 3.9%. While overall job creation was slightly less robust than economists’ expectations, much of the miss was attributed to losses in the retail sector. Healthcare added a total of 16,700 jobs last month, with 6,800 in the hospital space and another 9,900 in ambulatory care settings. Over the course of the last year healthcare has grown by 286,000 jobs.

When it comes to nursing careers, there is no one-size-fits-all category. As circumstances change, the job that used to fit your lifestyle may not be the best fit anymore. That’s where HealthTrust Workforce Solutions can help.

“Life changes,” HWS CNO Shaun McCamant told HCA’s Clinical Excellence publication. “There are times when working per diem or being a travel nurse are the right answers for a nurse.”

When nurses join the HealthTrust Workforce Solutions team, they have access to the most sought-after positions at healthcare facilities across the country. As a fully-owned subsidiary of HCA, our nurses have unparalleled access to jobs at HCA and truly become members of the HCA family.

We would like to congratulate Tina Joynes on receiving the distinguished DAISY Award! 

Tina is a travel nurse working in the Telemetry/Progressive Care Unit who has been working with HealthTrust Workforce Solutions for almost 3 years. She was recently presented with the DAISY Award by our HCA Healthcare facility partner, Northeast Methodist Hospital, located in Live Oak, TX. 

Our permanent placement staffing partners recently came to our Sunrise corporate office for an afternoon of interactive discussions about how to best partner together to put more people to work throughout the healthcare industry. We would like to thank all of our partners who attended the event! 

Our next clinical HealthTrust Hero is Kathleen Vuong, RN! Kathleen was nominated by St. David's Medical Center's ICU Supervisor for her outstanding customer service and dedication to her patients. 

At HealthTrust Workforce Solutions, we help nurses get noticed and find jobs matching their qualifications at hospitals across the country. We simplify the hiring process at the industry’s leading healthcare facilities and establish careers that last a lifetime.

The June 2018 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Report revealed that 213,000 jobs were created last month, while the jobless rate rose to 4.0% largely because about 600,000 people entered the labor force. Economists polled by MarketWatch believe this indicates that the labor market is very healthy. Healthcare continued to be an economic driver of job creation, adding 25,200 new jobs in June, reaching a total of 309,000 over the course of the year.
