Cary Medical Center

Daily census sits near 20, with roughly 97 RNs on the workforce, about 1.50 RNs per bed, and a CMS staffing grade A. The ED is a Level II trauma center open 24 hours with around 16,000 visits a year; bigger trauma, cardiac, and neurosurgery cases fly out toward Bangor. Meditech is the chart system you would use. If you are a 2025 or 2026 graduate, Cary is posting FT and PT nurse graduate roles with interviews led by the Nurse Leadership team. Experienced nurses will find permanent ICU days posted at 7a–7p part-time, plus obstetrics work tied to repeated Women’s Choice patient-experience awards. The hospital has landed Best Places to Work in Maine four years in a row and a 2023 Chartis Top Rural & Community Hospital nod. CEO Kris Doody, RN, began as a CNA at fifteen and has led since 1999. Pay for staff RNs is not published in the sources we have, and at least one NP review flags unfair pay and slow leadership response on contracts. Patient feedback scores nurse communication high and quietness low. Maine is a compact-license state, and local rent benchmarks run relatively modest for a city of about eight thousand.

Awards and leadership materials emphasize rural community care, patient safety, tobacco-free standards, and obstetrics patient experience; CEO path from CNA to RN executive underscores a clinical-rooted culture.
