What to Know When Pursuing Nursing Jobs in Illinois

If you want to work in Illinois, understanding how to deliver culturally competent care is important since many areas of the state are quite diverse. Roughly 76% of the population is White, 19% is Hispanic or Latino, 14.6% is Black or African American, 6.3% is Asian, 0.6% is American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.1% is Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and 2.3% is two or more races. The median age in Illinois is 39.5 years old, which is just slightly above the national average.

The state needs nurses to care for all types of patient populations across various settings. You can explore some of the most popular roles like:

Working in Illinois

Healthcare practitioners and support roles are among the top 10 largest occupations in Illinois. There's a high demand for nurses in particular, with an average of over 7,000 nursing jobs opening up in the state each year. This shortage isn't expected to go away anytime soon.

If you're interested in pursuing work in acute care, you'll have plenty of job options since hospitals are the largest employers for IL nurses. Take a look at current openings in some of the top medical systems and hospitals in Illinois:

Ascension
Advocate Aurora Health
Carle Health
Endeavor Health

OSF HealthCare

Even for post-acute care nurses, IL offers many opportunities. You can explore openings in any of the more than 700 long-term care/nursing facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health. If you're more interested in public health roles specifically, check out State of Illinois jobs in healthcare.

The average commute time is 28 minutes (slightly above the national average), and most residents prefer driving alone to work. If you dislike driving to work, you can opt for work from home nursing jobs in Illinois, or take advantage of the state's robust public transit systems.

Need help looking after your family while you're busy taking care of patients? The Illinois Department of Human Services offers childcare assistance programs to help you find someone you can trust. For your furry friends, there are also plenty of pet sitters throughout the state, so you should have a fairly easy time finding one in your area.

Living in Illinois

Located in the heart of the Midwest, Illinois offers a little something for everyone. It's home to the bustling metropolitan area of Chicago, which is the third-largest city in the country. There are many charming nearby suburbs, including Homewood, Evanston, and Naperville, which was voted among the best places to live and raise a family. So, there are tons of great neighborhoods where you can choose to settle down.

Chicago sits along the shores of Lake Michigan, which gives you incredible views from the high-rise buildings scattered across the city. If you want to get away from the city entirely, you can also go hiking or biking in popular state parks like Mattiesian and Starved Rock.

The diversity in Illinois means that you'll have no problem immersing yourself in a rich cultural scene. You can try authentic global flavors, from top taco shops to Chinatown's spiciest Sichuan dishes. And, of course, you can't forget about trying the iconic deep dish pizza, which was invented right in the city of Chicago.

Beyond food, there's an abundance of famous performance venues and museums to explore. You can spend your day visiting the Art Institute of Chicago or the Field Museum, and then catch an award-winning Goodman Theatre show at night.

The weather in Illinois can be quite variable. The southern parts of the state have milder winters than the northern parts, but overall, the state experiences four distinct seasons. Summers can reach an average high of 86 degrees, and winters reach an average low of 17 degrees.

In addition to offering nursing wages that are comparable to other states, Illinois also has a cost of living index that's 6.3% lower than the national average. This means that you can likely find affordable prices for housing and other everyday necessities.
