More about Stormont-Vail HealthCare, Inc.

The organization has been tax-exempt for decades, employs 500-plus people, and runs a 403(b) plan with high participation and a measurable average employer contribution. Postings show real texture: full-time and part-time options, day perioperative schedules as light as 24 hours a week, 12-hour nights on other units, and a Charge Nurse path in Surgery Main OR that covers staffing, surgeon and anesthesia liaison work, and inventory pars. If you are weighing a move, Topeka’s cost of living sits about 11% below the national level and average drives land in the 14–20 minute range, so you are not trading your off-shift hours for traffic. Kansas is a compact-license state. Nearby you will also see The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus and other local employers, so you can compare without leaving the city. Pay figures in public listings are uneven—one travel RN card under Stormont Vail Health shows roughly $66.15 an hour and lists health, vision, dental, and life—while other annual ranges on third-party sites are estimates, not confirmed offers. Third-party rating context sits around 3.6, which is mixed. That honesty is part of the picture you get before you apply.
