Registered Nurse – ICU Float Unit

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 oversee unit activities. This position requires 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) 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 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 and skill progression, managing patients who may also require IABP, Impella/VADs, and/or CRRT.

HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) A 14-bed hybrid unit consisting 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 (CABG and valve replacements) in our ICU beds. The stepdown beds accommodate patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
