More about VAN BUREN COUNTY HOSPITAL
On-campus child care and preschool is part of the same footprint, and clinics reach Birmingham, Farmington, Fox River Cantril, and Keosauqua. If you take nights, recent RN postings have carried a $10,000 sign-on. A house supervisor nights role is up when you want a leadership stretch after dark. Surgical Services PRN work means circulating and scrubbing, then also covering wound care and infusion in the Outpatient Treatment Center; those postings have mentioned sign-on and relocation help. You chart in Epic. The ED and dining areas finished a long renovation cycle around late 2025—psych rooms, flex rooms, security updates, expanded waiting—and the ED medical director role is now held by James J. Lee, D.O. What you will not find in the materials reviewed is a clear employer-stated RN base pay range, or a spelled-out residency or tuition path. Recognition on the books includes multi-year Iowa Top Workplace results through FY24, a Daisy Award for nurses, and a One Culture Award for employees who live the cultural beliefs. Nearby names nurses often weigh include Henry County Health Center, Davis County Hospital, and Ottumwa Regional Health Center.
Hospital messaging emphasizes everyone showing up, teamwork, and high-quality care close to home; One Culture Award recognizes employees who live cultural beliefs.
