More about Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital
This is where the region sends its highest-acuity kids: it is the area's only Level 1 pediatric trauma center, and it has held a federal role leading pediatric disaster-care work for Ohio and Michigan. Day to day you would chart in UHCare. Postings lean night shift on the pediatric side and variable full-time on multi-specialty acute care. UH has listed Multi Specialty Acute Care RN pay at $35.00–$58.85 an hour; a third-party site guesses pediatric emergency RN pay in the low-to-mid six figures, but that number is not from the employer. New-grad RN roles on the UH careers site have been open to graduates through May 2026. Parents in Cleveland threads still name Rainbow when a toddler needed life-saving care. At the same time, public discussion has covered pediatricians who were allegedly fired after trying to unionize. If you apply, you do it through careers.uhhospitals.org and decide whether that mix of acuity, teaching-hospital setting, and open questions fits how you want to practice.
Nationally recognized children's hospital focused on clinical care and pediatric training in partnership with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine; federal grantee for pediatric disaster-care readiness.
