About The Position

This position is for a Registered Nurse (RN) at Jackson Medical Center, a rural healthcare facility within the Sanford Health system. The facility serves a close-knit community with diverse patient needs, requiring nurses to be flexible and adaptable. Due to lower patient volumes but higher variability in acuity, nursing staff are cross-trained to work in both the Medical-Surgical (Med-Surg) unit and the Emergency Department (ED). This means nurses must be prepared to transition quickly between providing ongoing inpatient care and acute, emergent interventions. Responsibilities can include managing chronic conditions on the Med-Surg unit, stabilizing emergency patients, assisting with trauma or urgent care, and coordinating transfers to higher levels of care. The Emergency Department (ED) is a 4-bed unit caring for patients of all ages with conditions ranging from minor to critical. Jackson Medical Center is designated as an Acute Stroke Ready facility and a Level 4 Trauma. The ED typically treats 8-10 patients per day and is staffed with a provider on-call 24/7. Nursing staff collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to deliver exceptional patient-centered care to a diverse patient population. This position involves rotating Days/Nights with every 3rd weekend and every 3rd holiday, with 12-hour shifts in the Emergency Department while also assisting in Med-Surg. A sign-on bonus is available for eligible applicants.
