dynamic, multi-environment setting where you will build advanced cardiac and procedural experience while working alongside an interdisciplinary team in a fast-paced, evolving unit. Nurses who thrive here are those who value
variety, adaptability, and continuous professional growth.

procedural, recovery, and inpatient preparation workflows, creating a highly interactive and adaptable nursing environment.

- Provide direct patient care for individuals in the pre-procedure, recovery, and transition phases of cardiac care
- Support cardiology procedures such as cardioversion and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), gaining valuable procedural experience
- Assist with ICPC workflows, preparing and coordinating patients transitioning to inpatient care
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams across procedural and inpatient settings to ensure safe, efficient patient flow
- Adapt to a fast-paced, high-variability environment where assignments shift based on patient needs and unit priorities
- Work within a safety-focused staffing model designed to maintain strong coverage and support at all times
- Build new competencies through cross-training and skill development opportunities, including advanced cardiac and procedural techniques
