Centura Health Offers $30,000 Bonus for Nurses to Join Healing Ministry

Centura Health, the Colorado and western Kansas region’s health care leader, is introducing an exciting, limited-time opportunity for registered nurses (RNs) interested in serving patients on the night shift within our connected ecosystem of care sites.

As of November 2, 2022, RNs with at least six months of direct experience who join our healing ministry through Jan. 31, 2023 are eligible for a $30,000 bonus if they agree to serve our patients for one year in a full-time or part-time role.* The offer applies to Centura’s hospital, emergency/urgent care and resource pool positions that are viewable on Centura’s Careers webpage and coded as “Nights”. Re-hired RNs are eligible if they have been separated from Centura for more than six months.

“During this especially challenging time for the health care industry, it is critically important to us that we continue to recruit compassionate caregivers with fair, just and competitive compensation,” said Brenda Simpson, DNP, Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer. “We know health care is better where we are, and we are excited to welcome many more nurses to our healing ministry and our vision of making every community, every neighborhood and every life – whole and healthy.”

Centura continues to invest in our current workforce as well, having adopted a 3 percent, across-the-board base pay increase for nearly 18,000 associates in October, as well as living wage increases for Colorado and Kansas caregivers that are impactfully higher than state minimums.

Centura in 2022 began offering a student loan forgiveness program and an increase in tuition reimbursement, as well as a company-funded childcare FSA option. These adjustments follow an investment in our people of more than $200 million in 2021 in compensation and benefits.

*Programs, policies, pay and benefits may not apply to all associates, departments or locations. PRN positions, educators, assistant nurse managers, NRP and RN advance practice providers are not eligible for this offer.
