Nurse Leadership Opportunity If you are a registered nurse who values clinical excellence, professional growth, and collaboration—and who wants to influence positive change—this is an opportunity to take that step into leadership with purpose and make a lasting impact. About the CVICU The Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) is a 16-bed cardiovascular/cardiothoracic critical care unit specializing in the care of patients following open-heart and cardiothoracic procedures. The primary patient population includes post-operative CABG patients, who typically recover in the ICU for 2–3 days, as well as patients requiring ICU-level care after complex cardiac and vascular interventions. Patients include those admitted directly from the operating room following open-heart, vascular, or thoracic surgeries, as well as individuals undergoing TAVR procedures and STEMI interventions. Nurses in the CVICU care for highly complex patients requiring advanced therapies and technology, including: Mechanical ventilation Swan-Ganz catheters Vasopressors and inotropic infusions High-alert medication drips Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) Impella devices Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) Chest tube management Nurse-to-patient ratios are typically 1:2, with 1:1 assignment for highly acute patients. Staffing is acuity-based, with flexibility to meet the needs of the unit and ensure safe, high-quality care.
