Job Description
What We Offer:
Join a Team with Heart
Step into a unit where teamwork, dialogue, and positive culture thrive. Our Cardiac Intermediate Unit serves as a step-down between CVICU and Telemetry, specializing in the care of patients recovering from open-heart and vascular surgeries, complex cardiac procedures, and advanced cardiovascular conditions. Nurses in this environment deliver high-acuity care with the support and collaboration of a strong multidisciplinary team—making it an ideal place for nurses who want to build advanced skills in a progressive care setting.
What makes this unit stand out:
• A true step-down specialty unit—high acuity, but with strong resources and team support
• Growth opportunities—many of our clinical nurses grow and join critical care units
• 24/7 leadership support, including weekends
• Rapid Response team always available for backup
• A diverse, energetic team that values advanced skills, critical thinking, and positivity
If you’re ready to advance your career in cardiovascular nursing—gaining the skills of a Critical Care nurse with the support of an intermediate care setting—this is the place to be.
What We're Looking For: - Education: 4 Year / Bachelors Degree, required. Graduate of an accredited school of nursing required. If your RN nursing license has been inactive, retired or lapsed for five years or more and you have not been licensed in another state during the last five years, successful completion of a Board approved refresher course is required prior to reactivating or reinstating your license. In order to be considered for current licensure status, you must apply for reinstatement within one year of completing the refresher course.
- Experience: One year relevant experience, preferred.
- Licensure/Certification: Current RN licensure in appropriate state, required.
You’ll gain hands-on experience with:
• Managing and titrating drips such as Precedex, neosynephrine, and Levophed
• Caring for patients immediately following open-heart and vascular surgeries
• Monitoring telemetry and supporting post-operative cardiac recovery
• Managing complex heart and vascular cases requiring specialized interventions
Managing complex oxygenation requirements
• Collaborating closely with intensivists, cardiologists, and surgical teams
