More about Valley West Health Care Center
Some of it is short-term sub-acute rehab after surgery, illness, or injury — ortho, neuro, cardiopulmonary, and a post-acute mix — plus inpatient and outpatient rehab aimed at getting people back to independence. You share the plan with therapy and medical staff, not just nursing. The employer points to consistently low COVID-19 infection rates and positive state infection-control survey feedback. The RN posting lists $48.00-$54.35 an hour on days, with every other weekend required. Evening weekday differential is $0.50, evening weekend $0.75, nights $1.00. The header says full-time; the job type says PRN, so you would ask which one you are actually signing up for before you count on benefits. New graduates are welcome. If you land in the full-time bucket, listed benefits include a 401(k) with match; medical, dental, vision, and an HSA; life and short- and long-term disability; CEUs; student loan repayment with no amount named; mileage reimbursement; and PTO that includes vacation, six holidays, one personal day, and sick leave that starts accruing on day one. Referral bonuses exist for certain high-need jobs and every employee can earn them. The posting also names career advancement into leadership. Eugene sits about 2% above the national cost of living, with a graduated state income tax and no sales tax. People who relocate here talk about greenery and outdoor days, and also say the city looks better on social media than it fits everyone.
