Here, you will work alongside a passionate and dedicated team, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.

The J7-1/J7-3 Cardiology Stepdown unit is for patients with heart issues that are about to have procedures such as open-heart surgery and pacemaker implantation.

With a strong focus on providing psychological safety, this unit's team of caregivers are well supported and team-oriented. As an RN, you will assist fellow caregivers in delivering exceptional care, from initial introduction to final send-off. In this role, you will interact directly with patients, families and visitors, offering the opportunity to enhance their experience and supply healthcare education as needed.
