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 on your assigned unit 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 three distinct, high-acuity environments:
Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This fast-paced, 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 team is trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (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. Notably, this is the only unit in the YNHH health system that cares for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA bypass). 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.
Hiring Process
Candidates must hold a current license as a registered nurse in the State of Connecticut. Newly hired registered nurses must have current BCLS certification or obtain it within one month of hire. A BSN is preferred, and clinical specialty certification is highly encouraged. All RNs are encouraged to advance through the SPIRE clinical advancement program.
Equal Opportunity
YNHHS is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO/AA/Disability/Veteran). We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all individuals are valued.
