More about Henry Ford Health

Units you might actually walk onto include a 68-bed Detroit MICU split into six pods over two floors, a 48-bed med-surg floor for post-surgical and chronic care, a 44-bed preferred hospice med-surg floor with telemetry capability, plus surgical services, oncology, pain clinic, and behavioral health postings with 12-hour days or midnights. If you are new, the paid 12-month Nurse Residency Program (Vizient/AACN) is built for graduates and newly licensed RNs with under a year of acute care. You work beside experienced nurses in small cohorts of five or six, mentored by a clinical nurse specialist, and the program helps you sketch a career map. Scheduling in postings runs 24–40 hours a week with every-other-weekend and holiday rotations. Nurses here often describe friendly teammates and real support on the floor.
