Patients on our unit often require ventilator support, cardiac monitoring, arterial lines, frequent titration, multiple vasoactive medications, external ventricular drainage, intracranial monitoring, and other invasive lines and monitoring.

• Effective Communication: Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals. Communicate effectively with patients, families, and other members of the healthcare team. Your voice matters.
• Patient-Focused Approach: Engage patients and their families in care planning. Our nurse-to-patient ration is 1:2, allowing for personalized attention and interdisciplinary coordination of goals. We involve patients and their families in every step of the journey.
• Documentation: Demonstrate accurate assessment and charting skills. Maintain thorough and organized records. Details matter, especially in critical care.
• Compassion: You’ll be more than a caregiver; you’ll be a lifeline. Your empathy and emotional support during difficult moments make a difference.

Qualifications:

• Registered Nurse (RN) License: Valid and current RN license
• Minimum of 1 year of nursing experience. However, new graduates may be considered.
• Certifications: ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) is required but can be obtained through our Training and Development Center.

Benefits:

• Supportive work environment focused on complex, patient-centered care.

Join our close-knit team and make a difference in the lives of critically ill patients. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care to our patients with compassion and expertise.
