Registered Nurse - ICU

ICU/SDU Nurse Opportunity At Adventist Health Sonora

Adventist Health Sonora has a 6 bed ICU and a 6 bed stepdown unit, with staff shared between the units. The ratio is 1:2 in ICU, and 1:3 in SDU. Occasionally patient acuity may require 1:1 care in the ICU. We do not do cardiovascular surgery, neuro surgery, or trauma at our hospital, but we may admit any other type of ICU patient. Typical patients include respiratory failure, DKA, post cardiac Cath STEMI patients, sepsis patients, alcohol withdrawal, etc. On the SDU unit, we admit patients on diltiazem and amiodarone drips for Afib RVR, have patients on BIPAP, and a variety of other patient types. Nurses should be able to manage titratable IV drips, including vasopressors, propofol, fentanyl, etc. ICU shifts are from 0700 to 1930, or 1900 to 1930. Orientation includes one day of virtual AH orientation, one day of orientation in our Education department, and two clinical orientation shifts.
