Job Details

Join the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute and become part of one of the world's most respected healthcare organizations. We are expanding with a new, one-million-square-foot, 15-floor facility on Cleveland Clinic Main Campus designed to advance care for patients with complex neurological conditions.

As an RN caring for children with epilepsy, you'll practice within a 15-bed unit that brings together specialized patient populations, advanced technology, and a culture where nurses help shape care delivery through shared governance. You'll work alongside a dedicated nurse practitioner team that provides around-the-clock support, creating a strong interdisciplinary practice environment.

This role offers the opportunity to build expertise in pediatric epilepsy and seizure care while working with a team committed to clinical excellence and innovation. Whether your background is in pediatrics, critical care, or another acute care setting, you'll gain exposure to a unique patient population and help improve outcomes for children and families. Relocation assistance is available for nurses considering a move to Cleveland to join this growing team.

This RN position is part of Cleveland Clinic’s Weekender Flex Program and will require you to work two 12-hour shifts per weekend and one 12-hour shift during the week. While you are only working 36 hours a week, Cleveland Clinic will pay you for 44 hours of work and give you full-time status and benefits. This schedule allows caregivers to enjoy personal time during the week with family and friends and take care of any errands that will not interfere with a typical day shift schedule.
