Nursing on the Frontier of Care: Make a Difference Where Texas Roots Run Deep
There’s something special about a place where neighbors still wave, where the air smells like cedar and sun-dried hay, and where your work matters in a way that’s both immediate and enduring. Out here, beneath wide Texas skies and the rolling plains of the northern Hill Country, we’re searching for a Registered Nurse who’s not just looking for a job—but for belonging, for purpose, and for a life that feels whole.
This is Stephenville, where community isn’t a buzzword—it’s a way of life. Known as the Cowboy Capital of the World, this is a place where grit and grace live side by side, and where nurses are more than clinicians. They’re caretakers of spirit, steady hands in moments of fear, and the bridge between patients and the healing they deserve.
If you’re ready to bring your skills to a place that honors tradition while embracing modern care, this could be the fresh start you’ve been waiting for.
Care That’s Deeply Personal, Not Just Clinical
As a Registered Nurse on our team, you’ll be entrusted with much more than a chart and a checklist. You’ll care for patients across all walks of life—from hardworking ranchers to college students from the nearby university, from young families to aging veterans. Each patient brings their own story, and you’ll be the one to listen, to guide, and to act.
Whether you’re in med-surg, post-op recovery, outpatient infusion, or wound care, your role will center on connection. You’ll assess needs, coordinate treatments, monitor for changes, and support patients through every stage of healing. Your instincts and training will be trusted, your ideas welcomed, and your presence felt.
And when it’s time to explain complex information, advocate for better outcomes, or just sit and be still with someone in pain—you’ll be ready. Because that’s what nursing means here. It’s more than a skillset. It’s a way of being.
The Kind of Team You Want on Your Side
You won’t be going it alone. From day one, you’ll be part of a team that shows up for each other the way they show up for patients—with integrity, with consistency, and with heart. We believe in cross-training, collaboration, and leadership that knows your name—not just your shift schedule.
Here, nurses are integral to every care decision. Whether you’re working alongside doctors, techs, or case managers, your perspective will matter. And if you’ve got questions, ideas, or ambition? There’s room for all of it here.
We don’t just work together—we celebrate together, too. We know how to laugh on the hard days, how to cover for each other when life throws curveballs, and how to hold space when the work gets heavy. In short: we’re a team, not a timecard.
A Life You’ll Be Proud to Build
Stephenville may be small, but it’s got a big heart. Nestled just west of the Brazos River and surrounded by family ranches, feed stores, and sun-drenched pastures, this is a town that moves to a different rhythm—one that makes room for real connection and slow Saturdays.
You’ll find rodeos under the stars, live country music echoing from the town square, and local diners where the biscuits are hot and the coffee’s always fresh. Tarleton State University gives the area a youthful pulse, while the agricultural roots run deep—creating a rare blend of college-town energy and down-home stability.
With affordable housing, quiet streets, and plenty of open space to roam, Stephenville offers a lifestyle that prioritizes family, freedom, and fresh air. And when you want a taste of city life? Fort Worth is just a little over an hour up the road—close enough for a weekend escape, far enough that you’ll never feel rushed.
Who We’re Looking For
You’re a Registered Nurse with a current Texas RN license—or the eligibility to get one quickly. You may be experienced in inpatient care, outpatient settings, home health, or clinic-based nursing. Or you might be a new grad with a full heart and a hunger to learn. Either way, what sets you apart is your mix of clinical knowledge, calm under pressure, and natural empathy.
You’re certified in BLS, and if you’ve got ACLS, PALS, or other specialty training, even better. Most of all, you’re someone who doesn’t mind rolling up your sleeves, thinking on your feet, and seeing every patient as a person—not just a diagnosis.
Here, flexibility and adaptability go a long way. So does the ability to listen closely, speak plainly, and find common ground with folks from all walks of life.
The Benefits of Belonging
In return, we offer a compensation and benefits package designed to support you inside and outside the hospital. You’ll receive a competitive salary, comprehensive health insurance, and generous paid time off—because rest is part of the job, too.
We also provide a 401(k) with employer match, tuition reimbursement, and opportunities for continuing education and clinical advancement, so you can grow your career without having to leave your community. Whether you're aiming for leadership, specialization, or a long, meaningful tenure at the bedside—we’re here to help you get there.
Ready to Root Your Career in Something Real?

Apply today to become a Registered Nurse in one of Texas’s most grounded, genuine, and welcoming communities. Bring your skill, your story, and your heart. We’ll bring the opportunity to do what you love—and love where you live.
