Nursing Clinical Ladder

Create your career with us

As a nursing professional, are you looking for an environment that not only offers you multiple clinical settings and subspecialties in which to work, but an environment that offers you professional development and recognition as well? At Loyola University Health System, along with our multiple nationally recognized clinical areas from which to choose, we also offer you the ability to create a career path that will maximize your professional satisfaction, stimulate your professional development and provide you challenge and reward.

Clinical LadderWe are working together at Loyola to become the premier provider of nursing practice in the Chicago area. To facilitate that goal, Loyola nurses developed the Nursing Clinical Ladder for Loyola nurses. It is our invitation to you to create a career at Loyola, not just perform a job. We recognize that it is your professional growth and development which will allow us to meet the challenges of our future. This clinical ladder allows you to remain a direct provider of patient care and receive recognition and reward for your increasing expertise and contribution in your clinical area. 

Whether you are an experienced registered nurse, ready for the challenges of an expert role, or a new graduate looking for the support of expert colleagues to enhance your transition into independent nursing practice, the clinical ladder provides opportunity and challenge for you.

There are up to four levels available and at levels three and four there is the opportunity to chose different activities to advance your career along your particular professional talents and interests.

We also recognize flexibility in your career is critical. As a result, our clinical ladder has been developed with your needs in mind. You have the choice to move up and down the ladder as your life responsibilities change to facilitate your work-life balance. 

We welcome you to contact Loyola’s nurse recruiters for additional information on the Nursing Clinical Ladder.
