Hey guys! I have offers from Cleveland Clinic Main Campus cardiovascular surgery stepdown and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Lerner Tower 5 cardiac stepdown. I’m relocating from Tennessee and want to compare the nurse residency and overall support.

For current or former nurses:

• How were orientation and preceptors?
• Did you feel supported after orientation?
• Are Cleveland Clinic’s Success Coach program and UH’s Transition to Practice program actually helpful?
• How are the unit culture, staffing, nurse educators, and management?
• Would you choose the same hospital again?

Finally after 30+ applications I landed a new grad resident job at Cleveland Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery Stepdown! I was so shocked when the offer was extended to me at the end of the interview 😭

I’m so excited!!

p.s. I’m not from Cleveland, OH so I was worried they’d prioritize their own residents. So if you’ve been struggling to find a job where you live or in general, try CC!

I won’t be in my licensed state (Tennessee) to take the NCLEX because I have some obligations in Maryland during that time. Is it possible to take the NCLEX in Maryland instead? Or will that affect my licensure process?
