Job Description
Nurse Leadership OpportunityIf you are a registered nurse who values clinical excellence, professional growth, and collaboration-and who wants to influence positive change-this is an opportunity to take that step into leadership with purpose and make a lasting impact.
About the CVICUThe Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) is a 16-bed cardiovascular/cardiothoracic critical care unit specializing in the care of patients following open-heart and cardiothoracic procedures. The primary patient population includes post-operative CABG patients, who typically recover in the ICU for 2-3 days, as well as patients requiring ICU-level care after complex cardiac and vascular interventions.
Patients include those admitted directly from the operating room following open-heart, vascular, or thoracic surgeries, as well as individuals undergoing TAVR procedures and STEMI interventions.

- Vasopressors and inotropic infusions
- High-alert medication drips
- Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP)
- Impella devices
- Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)

Nurse-to-patient ratios are typically 1:2, with 1:1 assignment for highly acute patients. Staffing is acuity-based, with flexibility to meet the needs of the unit and ensure safe, high-quality care.
Scope of workUnder the direction of the nurse manager or other nursing leader, the assistant nurse manager has responsibility for the effective implementation of the philosophy, goals, policies, and procedures of the hospital and the nursing department and their effect on patient care in the department.
