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 the smooth operation of the department.
This position requires adaptability, as you may be required to work on other nursing units based on the distribution of staff and patients. You will function as a preceptor to new staff and demonstrate specialized competency in neuro, cardiac, and vascular care, including airway management, ventilator support, and the use of advanced mechanical circulatory support devices.
Our Critical Care Units
We offer opportunities across several high-acuity environments:
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 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 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 specific devices based on experience and skill progression.
HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) A 14-bed hybrid unit with 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.
Hiring Process
Candidates are encouraged to advance through the SPIRE clinical advancement program. All newly hired registered nurses must hold current BCLS certification or obtain it within one month of hire. Clinical specialty certification is highly encouraged.
Equal Opportunity
YNHHS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider qualified applicants regardless of background, race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
