Who they are
You are weighing Endeavor Health in Naperville, where Edward Hospital anchors a nine-hospital system that also includes Elmhurst, Evanston, Glenbrook, Highland Park, Northwest Community, Skokie, and Swedish.
Eight of the acute-care hospitals carry Magnet recognition, and the system lists free parking, tuition reimbursement, career pathways, retirement match, and PTO among full- and part-time benefits. If you already have critical care time, the RN Weekender Cardiac Neuro ICU days posting at Edward Main is concrete: 36 hours a week, 7:00am–7:30pm, a stated range of $36.00–$55.80/hr by experience, and a $10,000 sign-on for RNs with five or more years of critical care paid in two installments. Full-time, part-time, and per diem roles also show up in surgical stepdown, ED, NICU, CTU step-down, and surgical oncology. If you are new, Edward’s Nurse Resident Program runs twelve months in a cohort model for RNs with under a year of experience, ANCC Practice Transition accredited with distinction, with practice settings that include medical, surgical, oncology, step-down, and critical care. Orientation is coordinated by unit leadership and facilitated by Magnet-recognized preceptors. You should also know nurses have reported large systemwide pay cuts and that Glassdoor scores on pay and senior management sit well below the overall rating—facts worth holding next to the schedule flexibility and residency structure.
Why nurses stay
Glassdoor overall 3.3/5 from 519 reviews; 48% would recommend; compensation/benefits 2.7 and senior management 2.6 are the weakest categories; CEO approval 37%. Elmhurst-site reviews average about 3.4/5 with 67% recommend. RNs often cite caring coworkers alongside post-merger culture strain, high stress, and limited advancement. Nurses also reported systemwide pay cuts around Nurses Week 2025 and union-related firings alleged at Evanston Hospital.
The reality check
The first year has a shape: exam, license, first job, base year, then the move. Residency windows and commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
