Who they are
You would be joining Steele Memorial Medical Center at 203 South Daisy Street in Salmon, Idaho—an 18-bed, county-owned Critical Access Hospital with a Rural Health Clinic that has served Lemhi and Custer counties since 1950. The work spans a 24/7 Emergency Department with Idaho TSE Level IV Trauma designation and Level II STEMI certification, Med-Surg, obstetric services alongside Family Practice OB physicians, and a Surgical Services team that circulates, scrubs, and recovers from neonate through geriatric care.

More about Steele Memorial Medical Center
Charting runs on EPIC. Hiring posts have mentioned MedSurg, OB, and ED RN roles and a stated RN rate around $55 an hour with night differential based on experience; surgical PRN postings list PTO, vision, dental, disability, and a wellness program. The rural culture puts mentorship and employee development up front, and the surgery director’s span is a small team of roughly 10–15. It is a real small-town hospital, not a big-system campus. Older recognitions include Becker’s and NRHA critical-access lists, and leadership has explored adjacent school-district land for future connected expansion. Glassdoor’s small sample sits near 3.2/5 with roughly two in five willing to recommend it—worth weighing beside the clinical scope and the Salmon outdoor lifestyle.
Mission stated as delivering compassionate healthcare; care in the ED regardless of ability to pay.
