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 unit policies and procedures. You will provide supervision of non-RN personnel and, when assuming the charge role, delegate and supervise unit activities. This role 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 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 that cares for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA). Nurses are trained on devices based on experience and critical thinking progression.
HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP): A 14-bed hybrid unit with 8 ICU and 6 stepdown beds. We specialize in post-complex vascular surgery (aortic repairs) and post-cardiac surgery patients in the ICU, while the stepdown beds care for patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
