More about The MetroHealth System (Cleveland, OH)
It is the public academic medical center paired with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, so the work spans Level I adult and Level II pediatric trauma, stroke, cancer, correctional medicine, neighborhood clinics, and a new Behavioral Health Hospital in Cleveland Heights with 20-bed general psych and dual-diagnosis units. Your week depends on the door you walk through. Psych units commonly run 7a–7p or 7p–7a with rotating weekends and holidays; Brecksville Health Center has posted full-time days 7:00 AM–3:30 PM; ambulatory clinics lean on daytime blocks with some flex. You chart in Epic. Benefits language includes tuition reimbursement, professional certification incentives, medical and dental coverage, and OPERS retirement because this is a public employer. If you are new, MetroHealth describes a Nurse Residency Transition to Practice Program and posts New Grad RN roles. Pay is the soft spot in what is published: third-party boards have listed roughly $70,000–$90,000 for an RN at Brecksville, while at least one predicted Assistant Nurse Manager range sits unusually low. Bring that question to the interview and get the unit number in writing.
County safety-net system caring for anyone regardless of ability to pay, with primary populations that include underserved, trauma, stroke, and cancer patients; long-standing public academic partnership with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- Nurse Residency Transition to Practice Program with New Grad RN roles posted
- ACS-verified Level I adult and Level II pediatric trauma inside a CWRU-affiliated academic center
- Tuition reimbursement and professional certification incentives listed
- OPERS retirement as a public employer
- New Cleveland Heights Behavioral Health Hospital with 20-bed general psych and dual-diagnosis units
- Clear charge/preceptor pathways toward ambulatory Nurse Manager roles
The hard parts
- Base RN pay not confirmed on the employer site; figures come from third-party listings
- Predicted Assistant Nurse Manager salary band of $36,000–$60,000 looks unusually low for the role
- Many inpatient patterns include rotating weekends and holidays
- Union status unknown from available facts
What to weigh
Base pay is not confirmed on the employer site—what you will find are third-party ranges such as $70,000–$90,000 for an RN at Brecksville and a predicted Assistant Nurse Manager band as low as $36,000–$60,000 that looks unusually thin for the title.
