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

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.
