Looking towards the future and supporting our care team on their journey. Today, our hospital welcomed several local colleges to share education opportunities with our caregivers. Clinical Support Resource Nurse Rhianna Grannon was first to roll in and share in her desire to pursue her Master's as a Family Nurse Practitioner. For years, she's focused on healing the sick in the hospital setting, but hopes to one day be able to support overall wellness for the family. "I am always looking for the upstream approach. It's the humanity in it for me. I want to help families overall and stop the suffering before it begins," said Grannon. Our parent company, HCA Healthcare , has a wonderful tuition reimbursement and direct bill program that Rhianna has already used once when getting her BSN. Now, she is excited to continue her education with HCA Healthcare's support again.

Our nurses not only enjoy what they do at our hospital each day, they enjoy their leaders too. “When I started here at Brandon the leadership team really put me at ease, and that’s still the case today,” says Melissa Abdullah, RN, one of the dedicated nurses at HCA Florida Brandon Hospital. “That comfort gives me the opportunity to openly express any concerns I might have, and I’m not pre-judged in any way. The door is always open.” Learn about career opportunities at HCA Florida Brandon Hospital: https://lnkd.in/gQt5PDPe #WeShowUp #UnlockPossibilities #WorkWithUs
