More about Memorial Health
On the floor the work is concrete: Medical ICU 3C handles septic shock, respiratory failure, DKA, CRRT, vents, and central lines; Intermediate Care 3E covers neuro-medical, post-trauma, sepsis, and borderline ICU with titratable meds; Main OR runs five 8-hour day shifts plus call with three DaVinci robots and a small daily case load; Cardiac Short Stay 6B keeps every bed on telemetry through fast admits and discharges. Posted RN bases in our sample sit near $28.25–$30.23 an hour, with a Medical ICU posting listing a range from $30.23 toward $48.37. Sign-on bonuses show up often—up to $25,000 on Intermediate Care 3E and $20,000 on MICU, Main OR, General Surgical ENT nights, Cardiac Short Stay, and selected Decatur critical care and ED roles. Benefits listed include PTO, medical/dental/vision, 401(k), FSA, continuing education, mental health support, EAP, and adoption assistance. Springfield Memorial is described as a Magnet hospital in the employer’s own postings. Nurse reviews are mixed—about 3.5 overall from roughly 222 Glassdoor entries, with work-life and pay scores lower—and some describe heavy workload and thin management support. The system also announced several hundred layoffs aimed at leadership, administrative, and support roles. If the acuity, schedule, and sign-on on a specific unit match what you need, that posting is the honest place to start.
