Shriners Hospitals for Children

Full-time OR RN roles here lean family-centered, with staffing shaped by patient need and wraparound support rather than a one-size template. On the floor you chart in Epic, including Care Everywhere and Care Link when outside providers are in the loop. If you are new, a nurse residency sits alongside a blended preceptor program (online modules plus a four-hour workshop on adult learning, communication, conflict, and real-time feedback). Later, Nursing REACH offers a clinical advancement path across practice, leadership, professional development, and community engagement, and the Daisy program marks strong nursing care. Pay from our one recent posting landed at $42.80 an hour. Dayton itself runs roughly 7% below the national cost of living, with common housing pockets in Oakwood, Beavercreek, Centerville, and nearby, and a citywide commute near 17 minutes. The mission is what many people say keeps them here; culture and leadership reviews are rougher, and that tension is part of the real picture.

Nonprofit pediatric specialty care—orthopedics, burns, spinal cord injury, cleft care—provided regardless of ability to pay; roughly three-quarters of funds go to patient care, research, and education.
