UofL Health

The new UofL Hospital West Tower opened as a seven-story front door with a two-story atrium, concierge, chapel, coffee shop, and gift shop, plus new surgical suites, inpatient rooms, and a 24-bed observation unit built to ease ED demand and push toward more private beds. If you are new to practice, you join the CCNE-accredited Nurse Residency with preceptor-led unit orientation, individualized education plans, simulation, and workshops. Employees and dependents can receive free undergraduate tuition at the University of Louisville, tuition reimbursement shows up on new-grad RN postings, and the Nursing Professional Development Program supports advancement with certification reimbursement up to $1,250 a year. Experienced nurses will see float mixed-acuity and critical-care roles posted around $55–$57 an hour systemwide, charge RN openings on the board, and Peace Hospital advertising a $10,000 sign-on with relocation help for eligible RNs. Day-to-day texture includes Epic charting and posted shifts such as ED 7a–7p or 1p–1a and OR 6a–4:30p. Jewish Hospital and Mary & Elizabeth carry a CMS Grade B staffing mark with about 1.16 RN per bed, while patient nurse-communication scores there sit low. Glassdoor overall is about 3.1 out of 5 from roughly 491 reviews, with around 45% saying they would recommend the employer—so culture fit and unit choice matter before you apply.
