Our employees say:

"Working in the Mines clinic provides the opportunity for work life balance that did not exist for me working in a hospital setting. The 8-5 schedule allows me time with family and friends before and after work and doesn't leave me feeling drained like I did with 12 hour shifts. It's easy to schedule doctor's appointments during the work week and I don't have to take the entire day off, plus I get to work out in the Mines Rec center or walk around campus or downtown Golden during my lunch. One of the biggest benefits is having every weekend and holiday off! That never happened working in the hospital."Amy-RN

You will have weekends free and can take pleasure in the scenic environment during your lunch hour. This position promotes a commendable work-life balance.
