About The Position

The Registered Nurse will work in Cleveland Clinic Main Campus’s Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit, which provides postoperative care for patients undergoing cardiac surgery and other complex cardiovascular procedures.

The unit also cares for critically ill cardiovascular patients transferred from other facilities, including patients with surgical complications or those requiring advanced evaluation and care unavailable elsewhere. The caregiver provides direct nursing care, develops and updates patient care plans, monitors and documents patient conditions, administers prescribed medications and treatments, carries out physician and nursing orders, coordinates discharge needs, and educates patients and their families. The schedule rotates between day and night shifts, with weekend and holiday rotations required.
