Healthsouth, LTACs in Houston--need advice

Published

I'm a new grad looking for a job. I've already passed NCLEX and have excellent grades but no experience so I'm having a hard time finding anything. Does anyone have any advice about getting on at Healthsouth Rehab/LTAC or Kindred or Triumph LTACs? TIA.

The Healthsouth facilities in my area still accept paper applications. If the ones in your area still accept paper applications, I would dress nicely, complete an application in person, and possibly attempt to meet a nurse manager during the same visit.

The Healthsouth LTAC in Houston is closing. The last patients should be transferred out by this Friday 7/29/11. It was not included in the sale to Lifecare.

Kindred just bought all the triumph Ltacs.

There is a big job fair on Tues. Aug. 9th at reliant arena! Lots of facilities will be there. That is how I got my first job. I suggest you get there EARLY!

Good luck!

glutton,

I was considering going to the job fair but some of my classmates said they were told it was for experienced RNs only. We graduate next week... Think it would be acceptable for us to go without GN permit at least?

Thanks!

It would be acceptable to go. Even though you do not have GN permits, this job fair still presents an opportunity to schmooze with hiring managers, make connections, and exchange a few phone numbers and email addresses for future use.
