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 works under the supervision of the Nurse Manager or Clinical Coordinator to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and supervise individual patient care on a nursing unit. This role involves providing supervision of non-RN personnel and, when assuming the charge role, delegating and supervising unit activities. Nurses may be required to work on other nursing units according to the distribution of staff and patients to maintain a high level of service.
Our Units
Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This is a fast-paced, high-acuity, 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 patients receive medical and interventional management. Nursing staff are trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (with devices 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. It is the only unit in the YNHH health system that cares for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA bypass). Patients may also require additional devices including IABP, Impella/VADs, and/or CRRT. Nurses are trained on devices based on previous experience, skill progression, and critical thinking expectations.
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 (CABG and valve replacements) in our ICU beds. In the stepdown beds, we care for patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
