More about Pinnacle Specialty Care
The work is bedside SNF nursing, not a hospital floor: ongoing resident care, nights if that is the block you want, and a building small enough that dietary can still win employee of the month. One recent RN posting here sat at $43 an hour. Open web copy for Care Initiatives RNs describes pay as competitive and based on experience, and it calls out shift differentials for 2nd and 3rd shifts without listing the add-on in dollars. Overnight roles have been posted full-time and part-time, 10PM–6AM. Benefits language tied to these postings includes medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, a referral bonus, tuition reimbursement, company-paid training, and a digital wallet pay-as-you-earn option. In 2024 the building received the AHCA/NCAL Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award. Staff appreciation shows up in small public ways—t-shirts and mugs for National Skilled Nursing Care Week—so you can judge culture on the tour, not only on the award page.
Care Initiatives is a non-profit senior health care provider in Iowa; Pinnacle’s 2024 AHCA/NCAL Bronze award reflects a stated commitment to quality improvement across its SNF communities.
