Cleveland Clinic’s Neurological Institute is growing with a new state-of-the-art facility designed to transform care for patients with complex neurological conditions. Bringing outpatient, surgical, imaging, and inpatient services together under one roof, this expansion creates exciting opportunities for caregivers to learn, grow and collaborate across specialties. Join a nationally recognized team and help deliver innovative, compassionate care in a world-class environment.

The Registered Nurse in Imaging within the Neurological Institute is a unique blended specialty role that offers the opportunity to practice across multiple areas, including Vascular Access, Interventional Radiology, and Diagnostic Imaging.
