Nurse Extern II - Med Surg

About Us

We are a community built on care. Our caregivers and supporting staff extend compassion to those in need, helping to improve the health and well-being of those we serve, and provide comfort and healing. Your community is our community.

We started out as a small operation in California. In May 1969, we acquired four hospitals, some additional care facilities, and real estate for future development. Over the years, we've grown tremendously in size, scope, and capability, building a presence in new markets and curating compassionate environments for those entrusting us with their care.

Today, Tenet is a leading health system and services platform that includes 65 hospitals and approximately 510 outpatient centers. Our operations span three businesses: hospitals and physicians, USPI, and Conifer Health Solutions. We are differentiated by our top-notch medical specialists and service lines tailored to each community we serve.
