Our Home Care Nursing department is looking to add a Registered Nurse for our western counties.

We offer tuition reimbursement as well as additional profession development provided through daily huddles, monthly Nursing Townhalls, and quarterly All-staff Townhalls. This is a PRN position to care for patients in their home in our West of I-77 Service area. You will be required to work 48 hours every 6 weeks and complete a full time orientation (M-F, 8a-5p) for the first 8 weeks.

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.

This is a PRN position to work a minimum of 48 hours every 6 weeks (includes one weekend shift, if needed) and 1 holiday a year. You will be required to complete 8 weeks of full-time orientation (Monday - Friday, 8a- 5p).
