• Maintain a safe, therapeutic environment for patients and staff

What You Bring

• Graduate of an accredited nursing program
• Current Illinois RN license
• Current BLS certification (AHA or American Red Cross)
• Willingness to complete Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (CPI) training within 1 month of hire
• Strong communication, critical thinking, and de-escalation skills
• Previous clinical experience preferred, but new graduates are welcome and encouraged to apply

Why Gateway Regional

• Performance-based incentives
• Employer-matched retirement savings plan
• A supportive, inclusive work environment

We're a community hospital with a mission that goes beyond the job description: compassionate, personalized care, delivered by people who genuinely want to be here. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.

Final compensation is determined in partnership with HR based on experience, certifications, and skills relevant to the role.
