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 works under the supervision of the Nurse Manager or Clinical Coordinator to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and supervise individual patient care on a nursing unit. This role involves providing supervision to non-RN personnel and, when assuming the charge role, delegating and supervising unit activities. The position may require working on other nursing units based on staff and patient distribution to maintain a high level of service.
Unit Context
We offer opportunities across several specialized critical care environments within the Heart and Vascular department:
Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This is 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 staff are trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella catheters, LVADs) and evaluation for advanced therapies and transplantation.
RN-HVC Cardiothoracic ICU (CTICU/WP3) This 18-bed cardiac surgery unit specializes in care for complex post-operative patients, including CABG, valve replacements, aortic dissection repairs, heart transplants, and LVAD implantation. It 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 skill progression, managing patients who may also require IABP, Impella/VADs, and/or CRRT.
HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) This 14-bed hybrid unit consists of 8 ICU and 6 stepdown beds. The ICU specializes in patients post-complex vascular surgery (such as aortic repairs) and post-cardiac surgery (CABG and valve replacements). The stepdown beds care for patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
