Registered Nurse / RN - Hospital Setting

Where Mountains Meet Medicine: A Nursing Role Rooted in Care and Colorado Sky

There’s a place tucked deep in the southern Rockies where pine trees outnumber people, where snowmelt feeds the rivers in spring, and where the smell of woodsmoke and wild sage fills the air at dusk. It’s a place where the days begin with crisp mountain air and end with alpenglow on the peaks. And right here, beneath towering pines and endless stars, we’re looking for a Registered Nurse ready to trade burnout for belonging.

This is a role for someone who values presence over pretense—someone who sees nursing as a craft and a calling. It’s for someone who wants to be part of a team, part of a town, and part of something meaningful, every day.

What You’ll Do — And Why It Matters Here

As a Registered Nurse in this rural mountain region, you’ll do more than follow protocols—you’ll lead with heart. You’ll care for ranchers, adventurers, artisans, retirees, and families who have chosen this place for its peace, its beauty, and its pace. That means your care must be sharp, flexible, and above all, personal.

You’ll manage care plans, monitor recovery, educate patients, and advocate for their next steps—whether that’s follow-up with a specialist, support for chronic illness, or resources for healing at home. You’ll work closely with a team that sees you not just as a provider, but as a partner in every outcome.

In a place where the next hospital is miles away and winter storms don’t wait for shift changes, your role becomes even more essential. You won’t just be part of the care system—you are the system. And your community will feel that, every day.

A Team That Trusts, Teaches, and Has Your Back

Working here means knowing your team on a first-name basis. It means helping someone through their first difficult shift, and celebrating together after a breakthrough day. You’ll work with colleagues who value your insight, respect your voice, and support your well-being—not just as a nurse, but as a person.

Whether you're an experienced RN looking for a slower pace with deeper purpose, or a new nurse seeking mentorship in a supportive rural setting, this is a place where people care for each other—and mean it.

You won’t get lost in the system here. In fact, you’ll be right at the center of it.

Life at 7,000 Feet: Grounded, Wild, and Wonderfully Still

When the day’s work is done, the world outside invites you to breathe deep. You’re surrounded by more than a million acres of wilderness, where hiking trails turn to snowshoe paths in winter, and rivers shift from calm floats to rushing spring rapids.

This is a mountain town in every sense—quiet mornings, star-filled nights, and a community that moves by seasons, not seconds. There are hot springs that melt away tension, local festivals that fill the streets with music and art, and farmers markets where neighbors linger to talk and trade recipes.

You won’t just find a job here. You’ll find a rhythm. A way of life that values balance, presence, and perspective.

Who You Are

You’re a Registered Nurse, licensed in Colorado (or eligible to be), and you bring more than experience—you bring care that’s both clinical and human. Maybe you’ve worked in hospitals large or small, or maybe you’re looking to escape the noise of the city and return to something simpler, steadier, and more sincere.

You’re certified in BLS, and if you have ACLS, PALS, or other specialty credentials, all the better. You’re adaptable, calm in critical moments, and able to think clearly even when the nearest backup is a few mountain passes away.

More than anything, you’re someone who shows up. Fully. Thoughtfully. With purpose.

Support That Matches the Heart You Give

We know rural nursing demands a lot. That’s why we offer a competitive salary, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, and generous PTO—because you can’t pour from an empty cup.

You’ll also receive a 401(k) with employer match, tuition assistance, and opportunities for continuing education and certification—because we want you to grow with us, professionally and personally.

Here, you’re not just an employee. You’re an essential part of the community’s wellness—and we’ll treat you that way.

Let the Mountains Bring You Back to What Matters

If you’re ready to leave behind the noise and step into a life that’s slower, stronger, and more connected—this is your sign. Your skills are needed. Your voice is valued. And your impact will be felt far beyond the hospital walls.
