About the Role

As a Registered Nurse within our Heart and Vascular or Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Units, you will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individual patient care according to unit policies. You will work under the supervision of the Nurse Manager or Clinical Coordinator, providing high-level care to adult patients with complex cardiac, medical, and post-surgical diagnoses. This role involves collaborating with the healthcare team to develop individualized plans of care, educating patients and families, and supervising non-RN personnel. When assuming the charge role, you will delegate and supervise unit activities to ensure smooth operations and a high level of service.

Our Units

Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This fast-paced, high-acuity, 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 staff are trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella, LVADs) and evaluation for advanced therapies and transplantation.

RN-HVC Cardiothoracic ICU (CTICU/WP3) An 18-bed cardiac surgery unit specializing in care for complex post-operative patients, including CABG, valve replacements, aortic dissection repairs, heart transplants, and LVAD implantation.
