About The Position

Tufts Medicine has a Community RN Career Pathway plan that allows you to grow with us, no matter where you are in your nursing journey. This plan provides MelroseWakefield Hospital nurses with a roadmap for compensation and purposeful professional development based on their experience and career aspirations. This 28 bed unit cares primarily for cardiac patients in need of cardiac catheterizations, post STEMI/angioplasty, NSTEMI, post pacemaker insertion, CHF, Atrial Fibrillation, and other cardiac arrhythmias, along with hyper/hypotensive patients not meeting ICU admission criteria. Neurological, renal, GI and patients withdrawing from substance abuse are also placed on this floor. Patients can be on high flow oxygen, continuous bipap, with continuous oxygen saturation monitoring. Patients transferring out of ICU are often cared for on this floor as well. The nurse patient ratio is less than on the med/surg floors, allowing for patient to be more closely monitored.
