RN - CVICU

CVICU registered nurses (RNs), specialize in cardiac care, in an adult critical care unit providing comprehensive care for critically ill patients with a primary cardiac diagnosis. The CVICU RN performs intense monitoring of patients and cares for those requiring Intra-aortic balloon pumps, external temporary pacemakers and continuous renal replacement therapy. The CVICU RN may also work closely with the Cardiac Catheterization Lab to assist in quick diagnosis and treatment of patients requiring percutaneous coronary intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction. CVICU RN responsibilities may also include responding to all cardiac and respiratory arrests in the hospital, assisting with immediate treatment of these critically ill patients. CVICU nurses also provide emotional support for patients and their families as well as educating patients and their families on how to manage post-treatment home care needs.
