More about Kaleida Health
On the floor that can mean Med/Surg, Telemetry, Critical Care, ED, NICU, OB, Peds, Rehab, or Surgical Services; one concrete posting is Staff/Charge RN in OGH Critical Care, nights 7p–7a onsite, with BLS required and ACLS and PALS preferred. Charting is on Epic. Registered Nurse postings in Olean have been listed at $44.82–$61.01 per hour. The employer highlights competitive salaries, shift differential, medical/dental/vision, retirement plans, PTO, and an EAP. If you are new, the Triumph Nurse Residency Program and direct unit placement (including home care) are the front doors; tuition reimbursement and college affiliations sit behind them. Later you can move across adult and children's hospitals, clinics, LTC, and VNA without changing employers, and Staff/Charge work can include covering facility functions when the manager is out. The workforce is unionized, and a three-year tentative deal with 1199SEIU and CWA recently averted a strike vote. Reviews often praise local pay while describing upper management as distant and work-life balance as hard to hold—details worth sitting with before you apply.
