Northern California Critical Access Hospital Newly Opened Skilled Nursing Facility

Ready for a nursing career—and a lifestyle—with a little more breathing room?

We are recruiting Registered Nurses (RNs) for a newly opened Skilled Nursing Facility affiliated with a respected Critical Access Hospital in beautiful Northern California.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an RN who enjoys building relationships with patients, wants to be part of a growing clinical team, and is looking for the professional stability and close-knit environment of rural healthcare.

And for night-shift nurses, the compensation gets particularly attractive:

$7,500 sign-on bonus + $10/hour night shift differential + relocation assistance + temporary housing stipend.

If you've been thinking about leaving the traffic, crowds and cost of a major metropolitan area for a quieter mountain community, this may be worth a conversation.

Why This RN Opportunity Stands Out

  • $7,500 Sign-On Bonus
  • $10/hour Night Shift Differential
  • Relocation Assistance
  • $1,500/month Housing Stipend for 3 Months for qualifying relocating candidates
  • Newly opened, modern Skilled Nursing Facility
  • Hospital-employed position
  • Supportive, collaborative nursing environment
  • Opportunity to have meaningful input as the SNF continues to grow
  • Excellent benefits and retirement package
  • Small-town Northern California lifestyle surrounded by mountains, lakes and outdoor recreation

Looking for Something Different?

Maybe you're an RN in Sacramento, Chico, Redding, Reno, the Bay Area—or somewhere much farther away—and you're ready for a change.

This is small-town Northern California: less traffic, a slower pace, spectacular natural surroundings and a healthcare organization where nurses aren't anonymous members of a massive system.

You don't necessarily need to be actively job hunting.

Sometimes it starts with simply asking:

“What would the opportunity look like for me?”

Let's have that conversation.
