More about Monument Health Rapid City Hospital, Inc.
Nurses in the Rapid City Market helped earn Magnet designation from the ANCC, and the organization sits in the Mayo Clinic Care Network. Scheduling on posted roles often runs part-time at 20–24 hours or full-time at 40, with flexible options and 10-hour shifts on some oncology jobs; a Float Pool RN track covers short- or long-term needs across departments. Tuition reimbursement or assistance appears among benefits on qualifying positions, and a professional development ladder is referenced if you want a clear next step. The tradeoff you will notice on day one is practical: parking shifted in July 2025 for the Children’s Expansion Project, so you may walk farther from a new lot until construction settles. Rapid City itself sits roughly five hours from larger cities, with a cost of living about 11% below the national level, no state income tax, and a compact-license pathway—though housing near the hospital stays tight and many nearby homes are modest three-bedrooms around 1,000 square feet.
Mission: Make a difference. Every day. Vision: be one team, listen, be inclusive, show we care.
