About The Position

The Med- Surg ICCU (26 beds) and the IMCU (18 beds) are new state-of-the-art intermediate critical care inpatient units that pride themselves in providing patient-centered family care to adolescent, adult, and geriatric patient populations. The mission of these units is to provide the utmost quality of care to patients and families along with physician collaboration to those patients that require a higher level of care but do not fit the care needs that an intensive care setting provides. This role highlights a care model that places focus on nurses delivering exceptional care and emphasizes a Primary Care Nursing model with nurse-to-patient ratios ideally 3:1. A nurse on this care team will be encouraged to grow and learn in a supportive, team-oriented environment where each individual is satisfied, energized, and productive. Nurses will be dynamic in knowledge and skill as our patient service lines are diverse and will support the delivery of care model that UMC embodies. Nurses serving in this unit can precipitate caring for patients with conditions such as post-neurological trauma/intervention, post-stroke with and without intervention, post-trauma surgical and orthopedic, acute GI bleed controlled with intervention and hemodynamically stable, DKA, advanced pulmonary patients requiring CPAP, BiPAP, high-flow oxygen, or mechanical ventilation whom are medically stable, continuous intermediate cardiac and hemodynamic monitoring, and patients requiring nursing interventions every 2 hours for pulse oximetry, neuro checks, complex wound care, glucose monitoring, and blood pressure; vital signs hourly for up to 4 hours. A multi-disciplinary approach to nursing care is utilized on the Medical ICCU and the IMCU. This role is for a registered professional nurse who is responsible for the operations of the nursing unit and ensures quality patient care, competent and responsible management, and cost-efficient and effective utilization of unit resources. This nurse plans, supervises, and evaluates patient care and nursing personnel. They relate effectively with other departments for optimal continuity of care and has a working knowledge of organizational and nursing policies.
