Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Medical/Surgical ICU Registered Nurse (RN), you will help critically ill or injured medical and surgical patients receive constant, specialized care so they can stabilize, recover from acute conditions or surgical interventions, and safely progress through their hospital stay.

• Interdisciplinary Team Collaboration & Complex Patient Planning: Work closely with intensivists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialists to build, update, and coordinate individualized care plans for both medical and post-surgical critical patients, ensuring seamless transitions of care.
• Patient & Family Support, Education & End-of-Life Care: Update doctors and family members on patient progress, provide crucial emotional support during difficult times, assist families in making complex medical and end-of-life choices, and educate them on disease processes, surgical recovery, and discharge planning for a diverse patient population.
