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.

HCA Healthcare CNO Dr. Jane Englebright is among the nominees for Modern Healthcare's 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives of 2019! HealthTrust Workforce Solutions is a fully-owned subsidiary of HCA Healthcare. 

The top 50 executives will be narrowed by a public vote, which is happening now through May 10, as well as by input by Modern Healthcare's senior editors. 

Despite an economic downturn some thought might slow demand for healthcare, the nursing shortage persists. Job openings for nurses between 2014 and 2024 are expected to increase 16%, making the profession one of the fastest growing occupations in the country. However, supply continues to significantly lag demand — with current nurse vacancies at nearly 1 million. 

Competition for nurse talent isn’t the only thing growing. The desire for transparency into healthcare employers and what it’s really like to work for an organization is growing too — creating a whole new dynamic in nurse attraction that is essentially turning recruitment strategies inside out. 

We would like to welcome Shaun McCamant, MSN, RN, as our Chief Nursing Officer of Clinical Operations!

Shaun joins us from HCA’s MidAmerica division, where she most recently served as the Chief Nursing Officer for Lakeview Regional Medical Center. Along with a track record of exceptional healthcare performance, she brings more than 25 years of healthcare experience and nearly two decades of nursing leadership within the HCA family to the role.  

As our CNO, Shaun will strengthen our unified clinical vision and mission. She and her team of Clinical Operations Directors will work to promote clinical excellence and ensure clinical governance across our organization, making it easier to do business with HealthTrust.  

Our Directors of Clinical Operations came together this week at our corporate headquarters to collaborate on strategies for 2017. 

According to a recent Nurse.com survey, more than 92 percent of nurse practitioners would recommend the role to other nurses.

At some point in our life each of us will encounter a nurse, whether it be as a patient or as a loved one. And that one encounter can mean the difference between suffering and peace; between chaos and order. Nurses matter.

We are looking for clinical instructors who will be responsible for the delivery of creative and engaging learning programs that provide new RNs a wide variety of developmental & learning experiences.
