More about Newman Regional Health
ICU and CDU RN jobs are posting as full-time nights (7p–7a, around 36 hours a week), with shift and weekend differentials and a sign-on bonus on the table; relocation help is mentioned too, though the dollar amounts are not spelled out. Staffing numbers that do show up look steady for this size of house: CMS Grade A on the allnurses summary, 1.74 RNs per bed, HPPD 41.3, daily census near nine. Job copy leans on a low nurse-patient ratio, and charting is on Epic. Benefits include medical/dental/vision, PTO with an extended-illness bank, KPERS, life, LTD/STD, and FSA. Tuition assistance and student loan repayment are listed, and the building is also home to the ESU Newman Division of Nursing. Nurses describe friendly teammates and solid teamwork; the flip side is the small-facility reality—thinner resources and the limits of a rural critical-access shop. Third-party postings float a CDU RN range near $72,000–$84,000 and talk about newer competitive rates, but those figures are not a locked employer offer. If nights in a compact Kansas hospital with room to know your coworkers sounds like your kind of floor, this is worth a closer look.
Community-owned mission emphasizing quality, service, people, growth, and fiscal responsibility; recent work includes a telehealth expansion grant aimed at reducing specialty-care barriers across seven east-central Kansas counties.

What to weigh
