Loyola University Health System

Days here run across a 27-suite OR doing roughly 13,000 cases a year, a 16-bed MICU with vents, A-lines, IABP, EKOs, and CRRT, and a 24-bed cardiac telemetry step-down that takes acute and chronic heart patients and welcomes new grads into a Nurse Residency. Pay on the employer’s own CRNA postings is concrete: registry/per-diem at $127.40 an hour, full-time days in the $265,000–$285,000 range, and a $100,000 signing bonus on the full-time days role. RN postings speak to self-scheduling, weekender options, 12-hour shifts, DailyPay, charge and preceptor differentials, tuition reimbursement, an educational stipend, and certification support. Benefits often start day one, with an on-site fitness center and a childcare discount at Gottlieb’s center. What you should weigh honestly is acuity. A nurse who worked 5-Tower described post heart/lung transplant and CABG patients and a typical assignment of five after orientation. If that pace fits how you already practice, the case mix and residency path are here when you are ready to apply.
