Cleveland Clinic hiring process/timeline

U.S.A. Ohio

Published

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I applied for the new grad RN residency at Cleveland Clinic, and took the online assessment. I got an email today asking me to schedule a phone interview. I am a new grad, living in Florida. What happens after the phone interview? If I do well, do I at some point have to fly to Ohio for an in person interview? Or being out of state, will they hire with only phone interviews?

Also, what is the usual timeline from application to offer to start?

Thanks for any info!

I just had a phone interview with CC yesterday, and she told me all GNs start at 24.25/hr.

hi, i was just curious about the cleveland clinic's increase for shift differential of $5 after one year, do you know if this is true for all areas or was that specific to the ICU? i'm working on a step-down unit and wondering what my pay increase will be after one year. i also started as a new grad at $24.25/hr. it would be great if my shift differential goes up to $5/hr after one year but i haven't heard about this from anywhere else.

thanks for any info!

As a new grad, I was offered $24.25 an hour with $1/hr shift differential which goes up to $5/hr after 1 year. It's about the same as what OSU offered but they offer the $5/hr shift differential right away. Plus OSU offers free tuition to get your BSN, MSN, DNP, MBA, MPH, MHA, etc.

My sample size for unhappy nurses at CC is around 60 so a small portion. But a lot is said just given that they picked a physician led model and OSU picked a nurse led model. I know a fair amount of nurses who left CC for OSU and they didn't realize how much of a difference that made til they left and switched to OSU.

Plus, OSU benefits are significantly better. And although CC has higher rankings, more and more physicians are starting to recommend OSU over CC in the NE Ohio region.

I was told this in the initial phone interview with HR before any specific unit contacted me for interviews so I'd imagine that's true on any unit.

Pretty straight forward interview. $24.25 is the rate with $1 an hour shift differential. Interview starts off with basic questions to which you just answer yes or no. Do you smoke or do drugs, do you have any felony convictions, ect. They'll ask you your hospital and area preferences and also shift preferences. Then about 5 or 6 tell me a time when type questions. Tell me a time when you went above and beyond for a patient, tell me a time when you had a patient complaint and what you did about it. Just basic behavioral interview type questions.

Hi, HeartNursing3, when you say OSU? Do you mean Ohio State University? Because I could have sworn someone else said the same thing regarding free tuition to get your BSN, MSN, and/or DNP. However, they said this "OSU" was in northeast ohio. I just got accepted into Cleveland State University's Accelerated BSN program but I'm looking for ways to fund my education. Thank you!

Yes, OSU = Ohio State University. They are in Columbus, OH. I live there and work there. They pay for 10 credit hours per semester with no maximum. They pay tuition and general fees. You only pay the program specific fees so you can get your MSN done for only a couple thousand. Best deal I've ever found.

I was interviewed and hired into a SICU at CC before I passed boards, however the offer was contingent on me passing boards. I also was an internal hire as I worked as a PCNA at a CC hospital. You initially have a phone interview with a recruiter which is straight forward and then will have an in person interview with the nurse manager. I had an appointment with the nurse manager within a week of interviewing through the phone. I had an offer within 3 days of interviewing with the nurse manager. Orientations are offered once per month, so depending on when you interview and accept a position can affect when you start orientation. Before orientation starts you have to take a Meti-Dose math test and pass with a 90% and a 4 hour long essay style test called the pbds.
