More about Kettering Health

Operating Room RN postings call out sign-on bonuses for both experienced nurses and new grads, and relocation help is available if you are moving more than 50 miles—Radiology and Imaging hires have a stated $5,000 relocation bonus. Full-time benefits include 80% company-paid health coverage for you and your dependents, a 403(b) with employer match, and shift differentials on RN roles. On the floor, many nurses describe supportive coworkers, approachable supervisors, and scheduling that can flex when staffing holds. The system presents itself as a learning hospital that promotes from within and connects to Kettering College. What shows up often in reviews is frustration with upper leadership feeling distant, favoritism, and thin response to feedback. Work-life balance is real for a lot of people until understaffing stretches the shift.
