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. When assuming the charge role, you will delegate and supervise unit activities to ensure a high level of service.
This position requires the ability to adapt to the unique needs of our specialized units, which may involve working across different nursing units based on staff and patient distribution. You will function as a preceptor to new staff and demonstrate advanced competency in neuro, cardiac, and vascular patient care, including airway management, ventilator support, and complex device management.
Our Specialized Units
Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) A fast-paced, high-acuity, 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 team 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 that cares for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA). Nurses are trained on devices based on experience and progression of skills, managing patients who may also require IABP, Impella/VADs, and/or CRRT.
HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) A 14-bed hybrid unit consisting of 8 ICU and 6 stepdown beds. We specialize in caring for patients post-complex vascular surgery (such as aortic repairs) and post-cardiac surgery patients (CABG and valve replacements) in our ICU beds. The stepdown beds accommodate patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
