More about Canon Lodge Care Center

Pay signals are thin but concrete: our one posting sat at $34 an hour with a sign-on bonus up to $7,500. Separately, the full-time RN Director of Nursing role has been listed between $110,000 and $120,000 a year. That DON job also includes staff nurse functions, so directing the department still means hands-on time with residents. Around town, the average commute is about twelve or thirteen minutes. Some nurses live a few miles out or base in Pueblo West and drive in. Colorado is a compact-license state with a flat income tax near 4.4%. The community is quieter, shaped in part by nearby prisons and a modest tourist strip, with mountain trails close if you want them after work.
