More than 100 years after the founding of our organization the core values - Compassion Inclusion Integrity Excellence and Collaboration - that guide our interactions with our patients and each other remain the same. In the welcoming embrace of these nurturing communities you will feel immediately at home.Roseburg is located on Interstate 5 in Southern Oregons scenic Douglas County. The community is nestled in a lush forested region known as the 100 Valleys of the Umpqua. In many places you’ll find it hard to maintain a healthy work-life/personal-life balance because the pace of one is indistinguishable from the other. Not here. Life never stops here but it slows to an easy welcome pace. A traffic jam means you missed the yellow and have to wait for the next green. A terrible parking space is the one across from the restaurant instead of in front of it. And the three words you may never hear are “Wow that’s expensive.” Easy is the best way to describe life here. Hard-to-beat works too.Click here to view the ANTI-RETALIATION NOTICE / Oregon Nurse Staffing Law: SB 469 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D7uxPt-tJeFPRJciXRaDiUdg8xkvjGbGP00FgpOHwok/edit)ResponsibilitiesShift: 6:45am - 7:15pmJob Summary:Responsible, under the direction or delegation of a Registered Nurse as a member of a multi-disciplinary team, to provide quality practical nursing care consistent with the scope of licensed practice and the standards of care.
