Nursing at Loyola

Working at Loyola University Health System is more than a career. It's a calling. Taking care of some of the sickest patients is a challenge. But when you crave a challenge, then it is a personally rewarding job.

As a major academic medical center, Loyola offers nursing experiences in cardiac care and vascular medicine, oncology, neurosciences, pediatrics, neonatal, burn and trauma, surgery, urology, orthopaedics and all of the medical specialities. LUHS' nursing environment was identified as one of the top performers in a study of 59 hospitals conducted by the University Healthsystem Consortium. In that study, our total Essentials of Magnetism® score, a measure of nursing performance, exceeded both the benchmark and national average. To further recognize its excellence in nursing, LUHS is working toward the coveted nursing Magnet Award.

Nurses at Loyola University Hospital on the medical center campus in Maywood can choose from a variety of shift options. Nurses who prefer the outpatient setting can choose to work at one of our 22 off-campus health centers or at either of our two ambulatory surgery centers or our imaging center, all located throughout the western Chicago suburbs.

All of our nurses can advance via the clinical ladder, designed to recognize professional development for nurses who prefer to remain in direct patient care. LUHS offers competitive salaries and benefits, including tuition reimbursement for degreed programs at Loyola University Chicago and its Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.

We invite you to discover the Loyola culture. Loyola is a place where we value respect and cooperation and treat patients and each other with care and concern. Because of this we have one of the lowest turnover rates for nursing in the United States.
