Who they are
Avera St. Luke's in Aberdeen anchors a faith-based regional system whose Gospel-values culture and multidisciplinary teamwork draw positive nurse feedback, though Indeed reviewers flag management effectiveness and advancement as weaker spots.
Health ministry rooted in the Gospel; quality services guided by Christian values.
Why nurses stay
Glassdoor overall 4.0/5 from 469 reviews, with 72% willing to recommend (Sioux Falls subset 4.1 with 81% recommend). Nurses describe a family-like, mission-driven culture and teamwork; common frustrations include pay below market, staffing-related workload, and uneven middle-management communication.
The reality check
The first year has a shape: exam, license, first job, base year, then the move. Residency windows and commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
