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.
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 care to patients while supervising non-RN personnel. In a charge role, you will delegate and supervise unit activities, ensuring a high level of service across the nursing unit or department.
We offer specialized opportunities within our Heart and Vascular and Cardiothoracic divisions:
Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This fast-paced, high-acuity 14-bed unit cares 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) This 18-bed unit specializes in complex post-operative care for CABG, valve replacements, aortic dissection repairs, heart transplants, and LVAD implantations. It is the only unit in the YNHH health system caring for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA). Nurses are trained on devices such as IABP, Impella/VADs, and CRRT 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.
YNHHS is an Equal Opportunity Employer, Affirmative Action, Disability, and Veteran employer. We consider qualified applicants regardless of background.
