At HCA Healthcare, nurses are the cornerstone of patient care and considered the lifeblood of the organization

HCA Healthcare’s Senior Vice President & Chief Nurse Executive, Jane Englebright, Ph.D., RN, CENP, FAAN, says that because nurses are with patients and their families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments in life, it means they have a unique opportunity to make a difference. And they can positively impact both outcomes and the care experience for every patient.

Englebright recently provided her thoughts through an executive Q&A.

For the 18^th consecutive year, nursing has been called the Most Trusted Profession in the United States, according to a 2019 Gallup poll. The poll asked Americans to rate the honesty and ethics of 22 different professions in fields such as healthcare, civil service, and business.
