About The Position

We are seeking an experienced ICU Registered Nurse to provide high-quality care to critically ill patients. The role requires a strong background in intensive care nursing and critical thinking skills to manage complex patient cases. The 12-bed ICU has additional capacity for patients with COVID-19, and typical nurse-to-patient ratios range from 1:1 to 1:2 depending on patient acuity. Diagnoses and care needs include COVID-19, low-level neurological issues, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), sepsis, acute renal failure (ARF), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), post-operative care, and cardiac surgical cases.

The position works night shifts in 12-hour shifts, with 36 hours guaranteed per week. Every-other-weekend and holiday coverage is required, and the nurse may float between the ICU and PCU as needed. New hires complete an 8-hour general orientation followed by unit orientation shifts with a designated preceptor and a buddy for support during the initial period.

The facility has a supportive critical care team, including intensivists available 24/7, and emphasizes teamwork and communication in providing autonomous and collaborative care.
