Nurses who are looking for a rewarding career in healthcare can follow their dreams at Siouxland Community Health Center.Â
SCHC is a federally qualified health center and nonprofit organization with two locations in Sioux City and one in South Sioux City. With a workforce of more than 350 people, SCHC provides medical, dental, pharmacy, behavioral health and urgent care services to the community, bridging the gap for underserved populations: rural communities, low-income families and the uninsured. Because of this, services often include interpreters and culturally sensitive staff, with care tailored to meet the social and cultural needs of patients. Anyone can become a patient at SCHC and receive great care — including those who may be commercially insured through their employer or the Health Insurance Marketplace.
It’s a perfectly fulfilling fit for nurses who are interested in gaining valuable experience in culturally competent care, interpretation services and trauma-informed approaches. Their work at SCHC will enhance their skill set, exposing them to a broader range of health conditions and patients, making them more versatile and marketable in the long run.Â
In addition, the health center’s integrated care model means that nurses are not siloed within specific areas of care. This team-based, whole-person approach often blends various disciplines, including primary care, behavioral health, substance use treatment, case management and social services, allowing nurses to have a greater impact on improved patient outcomes. Because of this, SCHC nurses are actively involved in decision making and encouraged to provide input and advocate on behalf of their patients.Â
For nurses looking for stability, leadership opportunities and deeper patient connection, SCHC’s ambulatory and outpatient-based care model offers predictable hours, less physically demanding in-patient hospital work and a chance to develop a more nuanced relationship with individuals. Staff members often describe a strong sense of purpose helping care for people who otherwise wouldn’t receive care. So, in effect, they are creating a community connection that benefits not only the patient, but their families and neighborhoods.Â
Various benefit packages are available for employees who work full-time (at least 30 hours per week), part-time (20 to 29 hours per week) and PRN (less than 20 hours per week). There are no overnight or Sunday hours either.
Siouxland Community Health Center is growing, and several nursing roles are central to that expansion. Current listings include openings for registered nurses, RN health coach and nurse practitioners.
