Animas Surgical Hospital

The system is small—on the order of 160–165 people—so the work sits close to the OR, the inpatient Patient Care Unit, and a 24/7 emergency service rather than a sprawling med-surg tower. If you are new, there is a New Graduate Nurse Residency through the Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence with flexible full-time shifts called out on postings. Experienced RNs show up in overnight PCU roles and day-shift OR Circulator jobs at Escalante, plus PRN options. Posted RN base pay lands between $34.14 and $54.00 an hour before overtime or bonuses, and benefits lists commonly include health, dental, vision, life, 401(k) matching, PTO, HSA, and tuition reimbursement. Patients score nurse communication highly here (5/5) and recommend the hospital at about 91%, with Women's Choice marks in minimally invasive surgery, emergency care, and orthopedics. On the employee side the picture is quieter: Glassdoor sits near 3.0 across a handful of reviews, and the few Durango- and RN-tagged scores run lower. You will also pass a pre-employment drug screen that includes marijuana and need immunization records on file before day one.

Exceptional surgical care in a patient-focused, physician-empowered environment. Motto used by the employer: Personal Care. Better Results.
