About The Position

About the Unit 3 MHC is a 24 bed Prep/Recovery unit at Meijer Heart Center that prepares and recovers both outpatients and inpatients for their Cath and Electrophysiology Lab procedures. The unit is open from 6am – 9pm. The majority of 3 Heart outpatients are discharged the same day and are cared for by the same staff from arrival to discharge. Experience as a Nurse Tech is preferred, and flexibility with scheduling and ability to attend all required orientation classes that are not part of the regular core schedule during the first weeks with this team, is a must. Scope of Work The pace of this unit is very fast and includes doing our own patient transport within the hospital. We perform a wide range of procedures on 3MHC, including, electrophysiology, diagnostic and interventional cardiology, structural heart, and peripheral. Team members hired onto 3MHC will gain knowledge in all of these specialties. In addition, we perform diagnostic and follow up care to our heart and lung transplant patients, creating an opportunity for long term relationships with this patient population. Our team are experts at IV starts, time management, and managing vascular access sites. Our NT’s remove femoral arterial and venous sheaths and manage the site to gain hemostasis. Along with what's summarized above, Nurse Technicians act as a team member in the delivery of quality patient care under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN). Responsibilities include taking vitals, checking blood sugars, bed bathing, ambulating, wound care, catheterization and acting as a safety attendant for patients. Orientation: The Nurse Tech role will require 3-4 weekdays of classroom time with our Nurse Educators. These are pre-scheduled and required WEEKDAY classes that will require attendance the first week of work, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m
