Join Cleveland Clinic’s Euclid Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This community-based hospital provides top-quality patient care to the communities in and around Cuyahoga County on the beautiful coast of Lake Erie.

The 8th floor nursing unit at Euclid Hospital is a medical-surgical patient care unit, specializing in advanced telemetry. Our dedicated nursing team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nursing assistants and health unit coordinators – all of whom provide direct care for adult to geriatric patients with a wide range of medical-surgical diagnoses. We pride ourselves in care delivery that is centered on the ‘Colleagues in Care’ model of patient care, which embraces the concept of patient-centered, relationship-based care.

We are a 31-bed unit comprised of 7 private rooms and 10 semi-private rooms. Our average daily census is 25. Nurses caring for our patients require strong assessment skills, completion of Basic Cardiac Arrhythmia class, BLS, ACLS, IV therapy, and PCA/Epidural Management.
