Employee Review of Cleveland Clinic - Check out more reviews of working at Cleveland Clinic

Cleveland Clinic is a doctors hospital. If you are physical therapist, respiratory therapist, registered nurse, registered dietician, etc, you are "helping" the doctor care for their patient, you are not cosidered an independent, educated profession in their eyes. For direct patient care: Pay and benefits are average for city. Pay students quite well. Nurses are not paid for level of education, therefor a nurse with Associates degree gets paid the same as nurse with Masters. All CCF is interested in is the letters behind name, RN, not level of education or competence. New grad nurses often have six patients coming off of only 6-8 wks of orientation. Patient safety is not a priority, its how many patients they can stick with one nurse to save money. Nurses wear all white, political move. Management is god. Location, cant complain much only because the company is 100 years old. At the time that neighborhood was nice, not CCF fault that everything around it is ghetto. Not near a major highway exit, this makes commutes unimaginable. Becuase you are on urban campus downtown, expect a 20 minute walk to work (ohio winters are brutal on Lake Erie!) or pay your deal employer $100/mo to park in garage on campus. Bottom line, its a company, out to make money, no interest in community, patients, or people working there. Money money money and publicity.
