Akron Children's

If you already have Critical Care experience, they have advertised a full-time staff nurse role and pointed to benefits, increased pay, and sign-on bonus eligibility — they did not publish a bonus amount, a commitment term, or an hourly rate. Homecare skilled nursing is a different rhythm: you visit multiple home patients daily, join an on-call rotation, and they ask for one year of hospital or home-care experience, with a BSN preferred or within five years. Your PTO starts accruing on day one. Depending on role, that is 22 to 34 days a year, with higher accrual at five, ten, and fifteen years, and holiday pay for eligible roles. Medical coverage is four plan choices — two high-deductible plans with employer-paid HSA funding and two PPOs — plus $0 copay on some preventive drugs, dental, vision, FSA, short- and long-term disability, and employer-paid basic life. Eligible employees can use up to $5,250 a year for approved courses, certifications, continuing education, and college degree programs. Full-time staff may qualify for federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Career help is one-on-one coaching, resume writing, mock interviews, and professional and leadership development courses; they have not named formal clinical ladder steps. What you will not find in the public numbers is a posted hourly or annual rate. On Glassdoor, about 474 reviews average 3.1, and only half of reviewers would recommend this employer to a friend. A January 2024 lab assistant review described kind coworkers and a close, family-like workplace, and listed poor pay among the downsides.
