What this might mean for you
Loyola Medicine is an academic medical center — teaching floors, residents in the halls, and more sub-specialties to grow into. The posted pay pencils out to roughly $69k–$125k a year. It's a night shift — quieter halls, a tighter crew, and your daylight hours back.
What the posting states

Worth asking
- Can you walk me through the base pay range and differentials?
- Can you confirm how many hours and shifts are expected each week and what the weekend, holiday, call, and rotation requirements are?
- What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
- How are patient load, floating, and staffing support handled day to day?
The posting doesn’t answer these. Good ones to ask a recruiter or in the interview.
