Registered Nurse (RN) - Neurology Stepdown
Cleveland Clinic’s new Neurological Institute, scheduled to open in 2026, will be a state-of-the-art facility that makes it easier to treat high-acuity patients - those suffering from brain tumors, strokes, and complex spine injuries – without them ever having to leave the facility. Part of the new Neurological Institute is a 210-bed inpatient area with enhancements that include modular spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows in all-private rooms, video technology to monitor patients, and a “touchdown” space with computer between every two rooms on our inpatient floors, and relaxing lavender rooms on each inpatient floor to offer our caregivers an area to decompress. Nurses play an integral role in the care of our patients at the Neurological Institute, and we are eager to welcome Inpatient RNs to our team.
