About The Position
The 4th floor (4NS) is a cardiac progressive care unit with 36 beds, including semi-private rooms and one negative pressure room. Each patient is required to wear a telemetry monitor at all times.

Common diagnoses include cardiac intervention, pre-CABG, arrhythmias, blood pressure abnormalities, congestive heart failure, substance abuse, and general medical patients.

It offers a supportive yet structured setting to foster team member growth and development. Family involvement in patient care and decision-making is a key aspect of the unit's approach.
