Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic’s South Pointe Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This community-based teaching hospital is a prominent figure in the communities in and around Cuyahoga County known for its quality patient-centered care and active participation in community programs, events, and volunteer activities. Here, you will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. 
 

Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital’s 39-bed, 6 Medical Unit provides medical, surgical and telemetry nursing care including caring for stroke patients. Our nursing unit is unique in that it is the only unit at South Pointe with a specialty accreditation by The Joint Commission – and we have received the commission’s Primary Stroke Center designation each year, since 2012.  

We are committed to putting patients first while delivering safe, quality care. We are also committed to the growth and development of our staff – new nurses will learn from experienced nurses in the unit – enabling them to gain valuable skills, such as the ability to perform bubble studies for stroke patients during their 2D echocardiogram. 

As a Weekender Registered Nurse (RN), you will be responsible for providing direct nursing care, implementing and monitoring patient care plans, administering medication and treatments, assessing and coordinating patients’ discharge plans, and monitoring, recording and communicating patients’ condition.

Provides care with compassion and empathy.  

Thrives in a team environment.  

Demonstrates a strong work ethic.  

Can critically think and problem solve for patients’ best interests.  

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to have flexibility during their week and provide patient care on the weekends. Our Weekend Flex Program allows caregivers to work two 12-hr shifts per weekend + one 12-hr shift during the week. Weekend shift options start at 7:00pm on Fridays and end at 7:30am on Mondays. 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. Cleveland Clinic will assist you by offering 36 hours of work and we will pay you for 44 hours. The caregiver in this role will have a full-time status and all our benefits will be included. Join our team and together, provide exceptional patient care.
