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
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 provide supervision to non-RN personnel and, when assuming the charge role, delegate and supervise unit activities. This position requires the flexibility to work on other nursing units as needed to support staff and patient distribution.
Our Specialized Units
We offer opportunities within high-acuity environments designed for complex patient care:
Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This fast-paced, 14-bed critical care unit cares 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 (such as intra-aortic balloon pumps, Impella catheters, and 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. Notably, this is the only unit in the YNHH health system that cares for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA bypass). Nurses are trained on devices based on their experience and progression of skills, handling additional support systems like IABP, Impella/VADs, and CRRT.
HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) This 14-bed hybrid unit consists 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 in our ICU beds. The stepdown beds accommodate patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
