RN - Critical Care

ICU RN Needed

Cheshire Medical Center's unit for critical care nursing is a 10-bed suite, focused on caring for and supporting patients and their families while using advanced technological systems and tools to monitor and treat critical illnesses. You will find each patient room equipped with an electric therapeutic bed, emergency call system, cardiac monitoring with additional monitoring modules, wall mounted documentation station, and access to other critical care equipment needs. Patient population includes critically unstable patients exhibiting everything from acute coronary syndrome to unstable hemodynamics.
