More about working here

Moving here

Experienced nurses

More about CUYUNA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
The main hospital sits at 320 East Main Street with a modest bed count (reports land around 25–42) and a nursing team small enough that people still learn your name. Units span a rural ER that takes critical traumas and airlifts, a med/surg floor adding six rooms through a 2026 build, a Birthing Center with labor-to-postpartum suites and full OB services, plus clinic RN roles in behavioral health and pulmonology. If you are new, the RN New Grad Pathway pairs you with a clinical preceptor, a mentor for the first year, and unit orientation stretched over 12–18 months. Pay on recent clinic RN postings is stated in employer ranges roughly $33–$52 an hour depending on the role, with PTO, 401(k) and 457(b) participation called out on the Behavioral Health Coordinator posting, plus broader benefits that include insurance, HSA, gym discounts, EAP, and educational assistance. Patients rate nurse communication highly, and the Birthing Center carries a Women’s Choice Award in the top 2% nationwide for obstetrics. The trade-off you will feel day to day is the construction season: the med-surg expansion is turning former simulation space into patient rooms and will put temporary hallway pressure near OB, Wound Care, and Swing Bed for about six months. Crosby itself offers lakes, four-season outdoors, and a walkable downtown at a quieter pace—with the usual rural limits on nightlife and non-healthcare jobs.
Community-focused rural care with a collaborative, family-like team culture and emphasis on expanding access in the Brainerd Lakes area.
