Acute RN / Registered Nurse - Hospital Setting

Where the Prairie Meets the Profession : A Nursing Role That Feels Like Home

Out here on the open plains, where the sky goes on forever and the wind moves gently through fields of golden grain, nursing still feels deeply personal. It's not just about the chart or the diagnosis-it's about showing up, knowing names, and making a difference in a place where care means everything.

In this proud corner of eastern South Dakota, we're looking for a Registered Nurse who wants more than just a schedule. We're looking for someone who wants to belong-to a team, to a community, to something that matters.

This is a place where your skills will be seen, your presence will be felt, and your work will truly make a difference.

Where You'll Make a Real Impact

As a Registered Nurse , your day might begin with the steady routine of vital signs and med passes-but no two days will ever feel the same. You'll care for farmers recovering from surgery, teachers managing chronic illness, young parents navigating a new diagnosis. Every shift brings new challenges and new chances to step into someone's life with skill, clarity, and heart.

You'll assess and document, yes. But more than that-you'll explain, you'll advocate, you'll listen. You'll be the steady hand in the storm, the calm voice on the phone, the familiar face that patients come to trust, not just for your clinical knowledge, but for the way you see them.

This is nursing where every person counts-and so do you.

A Team That Moves With You, Not Around You

In a smaller setting, collaboration isn't a buzzword-it's a lifeline. You'll work side-by-side with colleagues who respect your input and appreciate your experience. From physicians who ask your opinion to aides who anticipate your next step, this is a place where teamwork is second nature and support is always within reach.

Veteran nurses mentor the new. New nurses bring fresh energy. And leadership is just a conversation away-not a chain of command to climb. Whether you're early in your career or bringing decades of expertise, you'll be part of a circle that lifts each other up and moves forward together.

Life by the Lake, Grounded by Community

Just outside the hospital walls, life unfolds at a gentler pace. This is a town built around a sparkling glacial lake, where mornings begin with quiet reflection on the water and end with sunsets that seem to stretch across the whole sky. You'll find neighborhoods where kids still ride bikes until dinner, parks that host music in the summer, and coffee shops where the barista learns your name after one visit.

It's the kind of place where Friday night lights bring the whole town together, where winters are snowy but warm with tradition, and where neighbors don't just say hello-they show up when it counts.

With great schools, safe streets, and space to grow a garden-or a family-it's the kind of place people come to raise roots. And the kind of place many wish they'd found sooner.

Who You Are

You're a Registered Nurse , licensed in South Dakota or on your way there, and you bring more than technical skill-you bring intention. Maybe you've worked in a big system and want to come back to something smaller. Or maybe you're starting your career and want a place where you'll be supported from day one.

You're certified in BLS , and if you have ACLS, PALS , or specialty experience, we're ready to make use of it. Whether your background is in med-surg, outpatient, geriatrics, or somewhere in between, what we're really looking for is you -your steady presence, your adaptability, your belief in care that's as personal as it is professional.

Support That Goes Beyond the Job

When you give this much, you deserve more than just a paycheck. That's why we offer a competitive salary , comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage , and generous paid time off -because rest matters, too.

You'll also have access to a 401(k) with employer match , tuition assistance , and ongoing professional development opportunities , including certification support and leadership pathways. Whether you're planting roots or planning your next chapter, you'll have the support you need to grow.
