Explore Chicago, IL

Hospital campuses line the Lake Michigan shore across Chicago, IL, from Northwestern Memorial Hospital to Rush University Medical Center. Emergency departments and large inpatient units run continuously through that academic footprint. Travelers weighing assignments often find contracts in Oak Park and Evanston, where many settle for the transit access. The CTA rail system ties many of the major medical districts together, so a lot of nurses skip the car and the parking entirely. When the day winds down, a walk along the Lakefront Trail or a stop at the Art Institute is an easy escape. At the city's scale, the practical question is rarely whether there is work, but which corridor to commute to.
