Nursing Jobs

When you decided to start a career in nursing, you knew that it wasn’t like other jobs. It’s more than the tasks you do each day — it’s also about people. The compassion and empathy you bring to work with you is vital to your role. At Cleveland Clinic we highly value this trait. It’s even listed as one of our core values.

And when you work with us, you’re surrounded by others who share this passion for people. Together, we aim to help each patient with the compassion they deserve. That’s why we call everyone who works at Cleveland Clinic a caregiver — because it’s about more than doing the role. Giving world-renowned, heartfelt care is what we do every day.

If you’re always looking for ways to strengthen your skills and challenge yourself, you’ll find many opportunities to do that at Cleveland Clinic. We want you to be able to sharpen your skills and craft the career of your dreams — whether you’re a new graduate or a seasoned professional.

Our Stanley Shalom Zielony Institute for Nursing Excellence oversees the practice and continuing education of nearly 35,000 caregivers throughout Cleveland Clinic. The center also provides scholarships for more than 1,000 of our nurses to pursue undergraduate degrees and advanced nursing degrees.
