Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world class and caregivers are family. Here, you will work alongside a passionate and dedicated team, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. 

Launch your nursing career at H62/H63 Trauma Stepdown unit, a brand-new 14-bed unit that will become an integral part of Cleveland Clinic Main Campus’ emerging trauma program. As a New Grad RN Resident, you’ll provide specialized care for trauma patients transitioning from the Trauma ICU who no longer require ICU-level care but continue to need higher-acuity nursing care and close monitoring. For a new grad, this is an opportunity to build a strong foundation in stepdown nursing while developing assessment, prioritization and critical-thinking skills with a diverse and medically complex trauma population. Even more uniquely, you'll be joining during the development of a new trauma program—giving you the opportunity to grow alongside the unit and be part of the team helping establish its culture and future.

The Trauma Stepdown unit is an exciting place to begin your nursing journey, offering hands-on experience, opportunities to learn from experienced caregivers, and the chance to be part of a growing program from the very beginning. You’ll build confidence, strengthen your clinical skills, and discover where your nursing career can take you, all while helping shape the future of trauma care at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. The unit will initially care for a stepdown population before transitioning to its long-term role as a dedicated Trauma Stepdown unit.

A caregiver in this position works a day/night rotation from 7:00 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.-7:30 a.m. with every other weekend and holiday requirement.
