Registered Nurse (RN) -MS1 Cardiac/Neuro
About The Position
Our 12‑bed Cardiac/Neuro Progressive Care Unit specializes in caring for cardiac and neurological patients, including pre‑ and post‑procedure cardiac cases and acute stroke patients. As the hospital’s stepdown unit, we manage higher‑acuity medical‑surgical patients transitioning to or from ICU-level care, with a typical daily census of 11–12 and an average length of stay of two days. Nurses maintain a 4:1 ratio, supported by nursing assistants at 6:1. We’re seeking nurses with a strong teamwork mindset, excellent organization, and the ability to care for high‑acuity patients while providing clear, compassionate patient education—especially around heart failure and stroke risk factors. A great attitude, strong communication skills, and comfort explaining complex information are essential; prior nursing or ICU experience is a plus but not required. Motivated new graduates and experienced RNs alike thrive here. Our highly engaged team is known for exceptional collaboration, camaraderie, and a commitment to delivering outstanding patient care—making this a supportive environment to build clinical skill and confidence. As a skilled and compassionate RN, you will play a pivotal role in providing and coordinating comprehensive patient care through the nursing process to deliver safe, therapeutic care in accordance with established standards, policies, and procedures. Using evidence-based practice, clinical decision making, compassion, and skills communication while leading efforts to create the safest patient environment and the best patient experience across the continuum. Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha isn’t just a place to work—it’s a place to thrive.

These achievements reflect the dedication and talent of our team—and we’re looking for passionate professionals to join us. At Advocate Health, being a nurse means more than delivering exceptional clinical care—it means leading with purpose, compassion, and boldness.
