More about HaysMed
If you are new, the year-long ANCC RN Residency is the clearest on-ramp: tailored mentorship, practical training, and time in ICU, Progressive Care, Obstetrics, Ambulatory, and Surgical services. Experienced nurses see flexible scheduling, including 12-hour day and night patterns called out on PCU and Med-Surg, plus service lines such as the Birth Center’s onsite Level II neonatal unit, women’s robotic and minimally invasive surgery, heart, orthopedics, and cancer care. Daily life has a few concrete supports—onsite childcare for associates, reduced-cost fitness center and meals, tuition reimbursement and scholarship help, and an associate referral program. Leadership names you will actually hear include CNO Joben Rieth and residency lead Jana Zeller; recent Hospital Week awards still went to bedside nurses. Nurses Week stories still describe colleagues who have stayed long enough to care for generations of the same western Kansas families. Pay for staff RNs is not cleanly posted in the open sources here—one listing shows a clinic assistant range of $14–$19.50 an hour, and a social post floated packaged figures for PCU and Med-Surg that may read more like contract math than a published staff base—so you will want to confirm numbers when you talk with them. Glassdoor shows about 3.5 on related listings, and a 2024 community thread discussed roughly $5M in losses with staff worries about care and administration. That is part of the picture alongside the residency structure and the small-town Larned pace.
Careers materials emphasize competitive pay and benefits with opportunities for growth and a culture of learn, teach, and grow.
