More about Eastern Shawnee Companies
One current staffing placement involves hiring Pediatric Registered Nurses for long-term outpatient clinic assignments at Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, NM. The company describes its healthcare staffing capabilities as part of a broader portfolio that also includes environmental services and professional services. Nurses working through Eastern Shawnee Staffing Solutions are placed in IHS-affiliated facilities, serving Native American communities in often rural and underserved areas. The Shiprock assignment involves a pediatric ambulatory setting focused on patient education, preventive care, immunizations, and family wellness, with contract lengths up to one year and extension options.
The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma's guiding principles emphasize Culture (fostering traditional core values and preserving history), Family (compassion for all people, investing in elders, youth, and family stability), Service (recognizing inherent worth of all people with dignity and honor, holding to high standards of performance and professionalism), and Accountability (being trustworthy, ethical, and accountable for actions and attitudes). The tribal administration's mission statement references 'Niipi' (water) as a metaphor for nourishment, perseverance, and bridging two worlds, reflecting a commitment to honoring the past while building for the future.
