More about Great River Health

If you land at Klein Center, you take a primary household of 16 elders and work with a Household Coordinator and RN Manager. One posted pattern is 2:30pm–11:00pm, 16 hours a week, every third weekend and holiday; RN base starts at $35.79/hr and LPN at $26.89/hr on that listing. Reviews also mention flexible scheduling and a decent work-life balance, though understaffing can still push the load hard. Benefits called out include an Education Assistance Program for qualifying roles and discounted cafeteria meals. Nurses talk about strong coworkers and culture, and a long-tenured RN says the credo values get followed at every management level. Advancement paths are less clear—employees report limited professional development—so you would want to ask about that in the interview.

Empower people to provide compassionate, high-quality care while being good stewards of resources. Credo values named by staff: respectful, committed, responsible, communicate, ownership.
