See 1 open roleWho they are
Lurie Children's pairs elite pediatric specialization with a CARE model spanning clinical care, advocacy, research, and education, but its two-year RN minimum means the door opens to experienced pediatric nurses rather than new grads.
The organization's mission is dedicated to the health and well-being of all children, achieved through their CARE model: Clinical Care throughout the Medical Center and community, Advocacy for every child to thrive, Research in pursuit of discovery and cure, and Education to train the next generation of clinicians and leaders in pediatric healthcare. Their purpose is to ignite hope in the pursuit of healthier futures for children and families of Chicago and beyond. Their vision is to be a transformational force in CARE and innovation to achieve a healthier future for every child. The organization is guided by principles that direct daily behaviors and actions to live out their mission.
Life on the floor
The culture is pediatric-focused and family-centered, organized around a CARE model that integrates clinical practice with advocacy, research, and education. The institution emphasizes innovation, collaboration, and child advocacy, with strong ties to research and training the next generation of clinicians. Nurses need at least two years of RN experience to receive an interview, and pediatric or ambulatory experience is highly preferred; limited clinic support has been noted in some ambulatory roles. Indeed reviews average 3.8 across 354 ratings, though specific nurse review themes were not accessible from the available sources.
The organization has 865 reviews on Glassdoor, indicating active employee engagement in sharing workplace experiences. However, specific review content was not accessible from the provided search results. The hospital's strong institutional reputation—being ranked in all 10 specialties by U.S. News & World Report and recognized as the largest pediatric provider in the region—suggests a well-regarded employer, but direct nurse review themes could not be extracted from the available sources.
The first year has a shape — exam, license, first job, base year, then the move. Residency windows and commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
