New Grad RN - Neuro Transitional Care Stepdown

New Grad Registered Nurse (RN) - Neuro Transitional Care 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. 
 

Cleveland Clinic’s M80 Neuro Transitional Care Unit is a highly specialized and diverse unit that provides treatment for neurological med/surg patients needing both stepdown and intermediate levels of care. This unit commonly performs complex neurological procedures, including intracranial pressure monitoring, seizure monitoring, lumbar punctures and central/arterial line placements. Nurses are an integral part of promoting early patient mobility in this unit, which is facilitated by modern equipment such as ceiling lifts and other devices to ensure patient and caregiver safety. Six months after hire, nurses can float to other med/surg units.
