About The Position

We are seeking an experienced and dedicated ICU Registered Nurse to provide high-quality care in a multi-care unit serving patients with diverse acuity levels. The unit includes a 10-bed ICU and also provides care in PCU and MST settings. Patient ratios are 1:2 in ICU, 1:4 in PCU, and 1:5–6 in MST; in MST, the ratio is 1:3 for primary care when no nurse aide is available.

Medical ICU diagnoses include sepsis, suicide attempts, drug or alcohol withdrawal, COPD, respiratory arrest, pneumonia, COVID-19, DKA, blood pressure or heart rate abnormalities, and post-operative complications. PCU patients may require non-titratable infusions to maintain heart rate or blood pressure. Bedside cardiac monitors are used, with remote monitor technician support available. Remote monitoring is also available for PCU and MST patients.

The position involves 12-hour shifts, every-other-weekend work, and holiday rotation. Floating to other units may be required based on patient-care needs, with two hours’ notice before floating. Nurse aides assist with patient care; the RN may take on additional responsibilities when an aide is not present. Scrub colors are flexible, excluding camouflage. Unit-specific orientation is provided after hospital orientation.
