   rush vs cdh vs alexian brothers

   ginalove replied to ginalove's topic in Illinois

   I'm not just leaving the one I'm currently at for driving reasons there are other reasons as well. But I have heard great things about rush from people that work there, so I'm willing to drive a little further for a great place to work. And it's actually closer than the place I'm at now.

   rush vs cdh vs alexian brothers

   ginalove posted a topic in Illinois

   Hi guys!! Currently I work in Evanston but I moved to rolling meadows a 6 months ago to be closer to family. The drive is just too much and I'm planning on moving soon. My husband and I are planning to move more south suburbs like elmhurst area in the next six months or so. Which hospitals would you recommend between cdh, rush, and alexian brothers? Pros/cons?I also know rush is a teaching hospital and I'm at one now, too. Is it a lot different going from residents to no residents?
