UT Health East TX Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTAC) is seeking RNs in Tyler, TX.
LTAC is unique in that is it provides care for critically ill patients over an extended period of time. LTAC patients typically require three modalities of service (respiratory, PT/OT, wound care, nutrition, IV antibiotics, etc.) and stay in the hospital for an average of 25 days. The multi-disciplinary approach used on LTAC allows nurses to hone a variety of skills, while cultivating meaningful relationships with patients over the course of their stay.
Occupying two floors within UT Health Tyler, UTHET LTAC has access to the same resources and services available to the region's only Level I Trauma hospital. LTAC nurses are encouraged to attend 8 weeks of critical care training in the acute hospital ICUs to help prepare them for the high acuity patients often treated at LTAC. In addition to this training, LTAC Medical Director- Dr. Carla Wang-Kocik, MD, Pulmonary Critical Care (voted but the Tyler Telegraph as Physician who did the most for the community during COVID-19)-regularly offers critical care education exclusively for LTAC staff.
To ensure continuity of care, UTHET LTAC has a dedicated Hospitalist that follows each patient for the duration of his or her stay. Not only is this model a patient satisfier, but a staff satisfier as well as nurses and other services always have a firm handle on the physician's care plan and expectations for each patient. As a result of this meticulous care planning, UTHET LTAC proudly continues to advance healthcare throughout East Texas.
