Nursing Careers
Choose a Nursing Career Where You Matter
We know life doesn’t start and stop at the beginning of a shift. You give the world to your patients, but your world extends far beyond the homes, hospitals and clinics where you care for others. Because before you're a nurse, you're a person and you deserve the compassion you so selflessly give to others. At UnityPoint Health, we are committed to supporting you—whether that be helping with your mental, emotional or physical health, career growth, financial well-being, creating a safe work environment, listening to your feedback, or cultivating an atmosphere that honors equity and inclusion and the complexities of your personal life.
Here are just a few of the benefits we offer.
- Loan relief and tuition reimbursement programs
- Nursing scholarships
- Recognition programs, including the DAISY Award
- Student learning and teaching opportunities
- Full medical, dental and vision insurance plans
- Paid time off
- Life insurance, short-term and long-term disability coverage
- 401(k) match
- One-on-one financial advising and retirement planning services
