Registered Nurse (RN) – ICU Float

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 to non-RN personnel and, when assuming the charge role, delegating and supervising unit activities. The position may require working on other nursing units based on staff and patient distribution 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 staff are trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella catheters, LVADs) 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, skill progression, and critical thinking.

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.
