Citizens Memorial

The short version

You would be joining Citizens Memorial in Bolivar, Missouri, a community hospital in the middle of a large expansion—new emergency department, ICU, private med-surg, PCU, and Birth Place space aimed at 2026. Day to day you might work full-time nights on ICU/PCU or a weekday clinic block if you are in an advanced practice role; shift differential is part of the package, and there is a no-cost health insurance option for you as the employee plus annual merit increases.

What to ask

• How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
• Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday and call rules?
• How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
• What is the usual patient load, and how often do nurses float?
