Hello fellow RNs...

Can anyone please suggest any good hospitals around Akron - Cleveland area with regards to good pay and working environment? I am planning to move from LA to be with family here in Akron area.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Ohio! Akron City Hospital, part of Summa, just built and opened a new CCU and ICU this spring. It's a teaching hospital with a large campus. Akron General Medical Center is on the other side of town and is also large and also is a teaching hospital. Akron General is a union hospital, while City is not. Good luck with interviews and your new job!

I don't know what your education/experience level is, but I seem to remember from when my wife was jobhunting, that Akron General only hired BSN's or ADN's with X amount of experience (think it was 18-24months). My wife works at Barberton hospital and seems to like it, though they just transitioned to a smoke free campus, something to consider there. Good luck!
