Critical Care Float Nurse / Float RN (ICU)

About YNHHS

To be part of our organization, every employee should understand and share in the YNHHS Vision, support our Mission, and live our Values. These values—integrity, patient-centered care, respect, accountability, and compassion—must guide what we do, as individuals and professionals, every day.

About the Role

The Registered Nurse serves as a vital member of our critical care teams, assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating individual patient care according to unit policies. Working under the supervision of the Nurse Manager or Clinical Coordinator, you will provide direct clinical care while supervising non-RN personnel. In a charge role, you will delegate and supervise unit activities to ensure high-level service and smooth operations.

This position requires demonstrating specialized competency in neuro and cardiac care, including airway management, tracheostomy care, and the use of advanced life support devices. You will function as a preceptor to new staff and collaborate closely with the healthcare team to develop and communicate individualized plans of care involving patients and their families.

Our Units

We offer opportunities across several high-acuity environments within the Heart and Vascular department:

Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) A fast-paced, 14-bed critical care unit caring for adult patients with complex cardiac and medical diagnoses, including myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, unstable arrhythmias, and heart failure. Our staff is trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella, LVAD) and evaluation for advanced therapies and transplantation.

RN-HVC Cardiothoracic ICU (CTICU/WP3) An 18-bed cardiac surgery unit specializing in complex post-operative care for CABG, valve replacements, aortic dissection repairs, heart transplants, and LVAD implantation. This is the only unit in the YNHH health system caring for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA). Nurses are trained on specific devices based on experience and skill progression.

HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) A 14-bed hybrid unit featuring 8 ICU and 6 stepdown beds. We specialize in post-complex vascular surgery (aortic repairs) and post-cardiac surgery patients (CABG, valve replacements) in the ICU, while the stepdown beds care for patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
