More about Carle Foundation Hospital
What we can say from the facts stops there on the day-to-day. Union status is unknown, and we have no stated detail yet on EHR, scheduling, float, ratios, residency, or tuition support. Nearby, Carle Health and Med Ninjas also show active postings in the same market. Pay is the open question: our postings and web-stated figures give nothing usable yet, so you will want to ask for the rate band when you talk with them. Illinois is not a compact-license state, so plan on an Illinois license before you start.
