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.

A caregiver in this position works days from 7:00 pm to 7:30 am.

A caregiver who excels in this role will:

• Provide direct nursing care to patients with epilepsy and complex medical needs.
• Implement, monitor, evaluate, update, and revise patient care plans.
• Monitor, record, document, and communicate patients’ conditions and responses to treatment.
• Administer prescribed medications and treatments.
• Note and carry out physician and nursing orders.
• Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to coordinate patient care.
• Assess and coordinate patients’ discharge needs.
• Educate patients and their families regarding care, treatment, medications, and ongoing needs.
• Develop knowledge and skills in epilepsy and neurological nursing care.

Minimum qualifications for the ideal caregiver include:

• Graduate from an accredited school of professional nursing (Diploma, ADN, or BSN program)
• Current state licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN)
• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross
• One year of current acute care RN experience. Military RN experience will be considered

Preferred qualifications for the ideal candidate include:

• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
• Pediatric nursing experience
• Experience caring for patients with epilepsy, neurological conditions, or complex medical needs
• Experience working in a multidisciplinary care environment

Physical Requirements:

• Requires full range of body motion including handling and lifting patient, manual and finger dexterity, and eye-hand coordination.
• Requires standing and walking for extended periods of time.
• Requires corrected vision and hearing to normal range.
• Requires working under stressful conditions and irregular hours.
• Exposure to communicable diseases and/or body fluids.
