More about Corewell Health
Day to day that can mean Epic charting, careers-page language about low nurse-to-patient ratios with dedicated support staff, and units with clear identities: 3 East SICU taking general surgery, vascular, thoracic, transplant, high-risk OB, and ECMO; 9 North ACE as a 29-bed floor for medical patients 65 and older. Full-time and part-time posts span nights, days, evenings, weekends, and rotating patterns. If you are new, there is an accredited residency with nationally recognized training, plus tuition reimbursement and Public Loan Forgiveness eligibility. If you already have your feet under you, clinical ladders and preceptor roles are on the table. System postings have advertised RN sign-on bonuses in the $10,000 to $20,000 range depending on site and specialty, and Royal Oak itself often shows around 40 nursing-category openings. Hold the honest piece in view before you apply: East-side nurses (the former Beaumont hospitals, Royal Oak included) voted to authorize a strike while bargaining a first contract on ratios, wages, insurance, and safety, and staff reviews repeatedly flag small raises, thin promotion paths, and a warmer feeling toward coworkers than toward leadership.
Improve health, instill humanity and inspire hope. Values include Compassion and Collaboration.
