More about Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center

RN postings span Med-Surg, ICU, PCU, Emergency, and Women's Services, and full-time schedules are built on three 12-hour shifts with rotating weekends and holiday rotation; Med-Surg nights, for example, run 7p–7a at 36 hours a week. If you are newer to the bedside, the hospital has welcomed an inaugural graduate nurse resident class and lists openings that accept 0–2 years of experience or student acute-care rotations. Eligible RN roles advertise a sign-on bonus up to $30K, student loan repayment up to $20K, and tuition reimbursement for full-time and part-time nurses, plus everyday benefits such as free parking, health/dental/vision, 401(k), and PTO. The picture is not polished end-to-end. Staff comments often praise caring coworkers while also naming understaffing, turnover, and heavy workload, and public snapshots sit in a mixed range—Glassdoor around 3.1/5 from roughly 31 ratings, with patient nurse-communication scores near 2/5. You would want to ask units directly about staffing and support when you interview.
