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
As a Registered Nurse, you will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individual patient care on a specialized nursing unit according to established policies and procedures. You will work under the supervision of the Nurse Manager or Clinical Coordinator, providing supervision to non-RN personnel and assuming charge responsibilities when required. This role is foundational to the nursing team, with an encouragement to advance through the SPIRE clinical advancement program.
Our Specialized Units
We offer opportunities within high-acuity environments designed for complex patient needs:
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 are 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 devices based on experience, skill progression, and critical thinking.
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.
