Job Summary

Whether you are just graduating from nursing school or bringing years of experience in a different specialty to a new position at Cleveland Clinic, you will benefit from our residency program. Throughout your residency, you will work with our Success Coach team of dedicated nursing professional development specialists to build off those experiences. They will be always available to you — in person, virtually and through email — to answer questions and help you grow as a caregiver.

In our post-surgical care floor, patients are coming from the OR (Operating Room) or ICU (Intensive Care Unit) to continue to stabilize prior to discharge. Our patients have been seen for endocrine, orthopedic, renal, or gastro surgeries. With dedicated support staff including PCNAs (Patient Care Nurse Assistant) and LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurse), we average patient ratios for RNs (Registered Nurses) of 1:5-6. A Registered Nurse Resident will become a part of our family and experience one of the most inclusive, well-rounded, and prosperous training programs. You will work alongside seasoned nurses who are eager to educate and coach new graduates.

What to expect during your residency program:

- A successful coach will be available 24/7.

- Weekly check-ins to ensure personal and professional goals are met.

- Personal assessments to determine areas for growth and opportunity.

The ideal caregiver is someone who:

- Is a team player.

- Has excellent communication skills.

- Can adapt to change.

- Has an interest in growing leadership skills.

- Can critically think and problem solve for patients’ best interests.

This is an excellent opportunity for a new graduate to build a life-long career at a hospital that prioritizes career growth, learning opportunities, and employee wellness. This opportunity also offers tuition reimbursement, student loan repayment options, relocation assistance, and convenient parking.

At Cleveland Clinic, we know what matters most. That's why we treat our caregivers as if they are our own family, and we are always creating ways to be there for you. Here, you'll find that we offer: resources to learn and grow, a fulfilling career for everyone, and comprehensive benefits that invest in your health, your physical and mental well-being and your future. When you join Cleveland Clinic, you'll be part of a supportive caregiver family that will be united in shared values and purpose to fulfill our promise of being the best place to receive care and the best place to work in healthcare
