Great Falls Clinic Hospital

The Clinic side goes back more than a century; the hospital side recently finished a roughly $70 million build that added 46 beds, a 10-bed ICU, two cath labs, and an EP lab, so the floors you might work still feel like a place mid-growth rather than finished. If you are new, the Fall 2026 New Graduate RN Residency is a concrete door: apply by July 21, start September 23, and train across a 6–12 month window. If you already have your feet under you, OR circulator work here means planning and evaluating intraoperative care to AORN standards with call, and Pre-Op/PACU/procedural recovery covers the stretch before and after surgery, IR, bronchoscopy, and interventional cardiology—also with on-call and weekend or holiday turns when the schedule needs it. You chart in Epic. Staffing markers on record include a CMS Grade A note, about 2.13 RNs per bed, nursing HPPD near 10.0, and a daily census around 15 at roughly 84% occupancy. Pay figures in public postings sit in broad bands (roughly mid-60s to high-80s or 90s thousand depending on the role) rather than a single locked offer, and full differential dollars are only partly spelled out. Great Falls itself runs a little under the national cost of living, and Montana is a compact-license state.

Provider-led community hospital that emphasizes teamwork, physician leadership, and personalized care; Clinic and Hospital remain two practices under the same ownership after a 2023 name simplification, with no stated care-model change.
