More about HCA Houston Healthcare Southeast
The campus sits inside the HCA Houston Healthcare network and staffs Level III trauma, a Level III NICU, a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center, and an ACC Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI—the only Pasadena hospital with that chest-pain designation. If you are new to practice, a Nurse Residency track is posted here for Med Surg Tele. Experienced RNs will also see active openings in Emergency Room and Labor & Delivery, with hiring events aimed at both new graduates and seasoned nurses. Leadership on campus includes CEO Yasmene McDaniel and CMO Musaddiq Waheed, MD. Patient-safety and quality awards show up often—Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence for a fifth year, full Joint Commission accreditation, and a long list of specialty recognitions—while CMS staffing data still lands at a grade C and patient surveys score nurse communication at 2 out of 5. That gap is worth weighing as you decide.
Hiring materials emphasize patient-centered care, career pathways for new graduate and experienced RNs, and a multi-year run as a Modern Healthcare Best Place to Work within HCA Houston Healthcare.
