“In rural nursing and at CMC, it doesn’t matter what ‘department’ you belong to; you will have the ability to do more, learn more and ultimately grow as a nurse in your skills and knowledge. I am proud to say that I can work in most areas of our hospital with confidence, and that is because CMC allowed me these opportunities. If you want to learn something new every shift, expand your skills as a nurse and work in various roles, I encourage you to explore rural healthcare, such as CMC. Nursing is a great profession and you should never be bored and there are endless opportunities!”

“Throughout my seven years in this position, I have been supported and assisted by the facility in receiving my CNOR certification, becoming a Registered Nurse First Assist, and trained for specialty roles such as inserting peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC) lines. Coulee Medical Center is a small, rural facility that rarely provides the same day twice. Cross-training across the facility is very common and allows nurses to gain a variety of skills and knowledge.”

“I would encourage anyone who is interested in a varied nursing experience to apply here to our hospital and gain the knowledge needed to further whatever nursing career path you may wish to take. You will be given the opportunity to work with many different types of patients, and Coulee Medical Center encourages professional growth of our staff.”
