More about Harris Health

The organization employs nurses at structured clinical levels, including the Nurse Clinician II (NCII) role, which represents a competent generalist nursing position. Nurses at this level are expected to independently and safely manage patients with common problems in their assigned clinical areas, applying standards, principles, and algorithms to clinical situations. The NCII role is structured around professional practice standards specified in the Texas Nursing Practice Act and HCHD Nursing Service guidelines. The position requires nurses to recognize when they need assistance and to seek appropriate resources, indicating a model that values both independent practice and appropriate escalation. Harris Health supports both experienced registered nurses and new graduates, as the minimum experience requirement can be met through either one year of full-time RN experience or completion of a Graduate Nurse (GN) Program. The educational requirements for the NCII position are flexible, with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing preferred but not required. Candidates may also qualify with a Diploma in Nursing or graduation from an accredited school of nursing.
