Where Can You Work as an ED Nurse at CoxHealth?
ED nurses at CoxHealth work in five emergency departments across Southwest Missouri. You will find us in Springfield, Branson, Monett, and Lamar. We get each person to the right level of care, and we help them stay close to their families and homes.
All of our EDs are part of CoxHealth Emergency Services. Every team gets the same training and equipment. That means you can work at any of our EDs, and many of our nurses work at more than one.
Every ED follows the same protocols, standards, and order sets. We all use the same electronic medical record, too. So patients get top-quality care at whichever ED is closest to them. We also work with our CoxHealth Urgent Care centers to help each patient get care at the best place for their needs.
