Staff Registered Nurse

Emergency Department Registered Nurse

The Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility and accountability for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating care of patients. The staff RN utilizes the nursing process by use of technology, therapeutic intervention, evidence-based practice, and coordination of care with other health team members.

We are a 26-bed department level 1 Trauma Center, Accredited Chest Pain and Stroke Center. We are a very busy Emergency Department that serves the Billings and outlying communities from as far east as the Dakotas and South into Wyoming. We have a dedicated Help flight team as well as an EMS ground crew. Our typical nurse to patient ratio is 4:1. We pride ourselves on our collaborative team approach which extends to the Emergency Providers and allows us to provide the highest quality care to our community.

Our ED has a unique culture where you will feel welcomed and supported creating an emergency family setting that delivers top quality care to our community. If you have a desire to be a part of an Elite team of Emergency Nurses, please apply or reach out to our Recruiters for more information on how you can join our ED Family.
