For Nurses
Nurses are vital members of our multidisciplinary teams of healthcare professionals, helping to set new standards in patient care through prevention, early detection and treatment of complex diseases. Our nurses provide both clinical expertise and emotional support to patients and their families before, during and after treatment.
Our unique nursing structure enables personal and professional growth by providing many opportunities for our nursing staff to excel—from improving patient safety and conducting research projects to becoming an advanced practice nurse in an area of clinical interest.
As an NCH Nurse You’ll Find:
- Transparency in quality care reporting. We were the first hospital in the region to show consumers how we compare to state and national benchmarks. You can see our current grades in the following locations: Illinois Hospital Report Card, The Joint Commission and Hospital Compare.
- Advanced medical technology. We were an early adopter of new technologies that improve medical outcomes and the patient experience, with the Halcyon™ radiation therapy delivery system, NICO BrainPath® technology and VITOM® 3D exoscopic visualization, Ga 68-DOTATATE PET/CT technology, CyberKnife® Stereotactic Radiosurgery System (SRS), the da Vinci® Surgical System and more.
- Serious illness and injury care. As a state-designated trauma center, the Emergency Department is the busiest in the northwest suburbs and the Critical Care Unit is the only one in the area staffed around the clock with board-certified intensivists.
- Important partnerships. We have 24-hour, onsite access to neonatologists and pediatric specialists from Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
