Registered Nurse

The ICU cares for critically ill medical/surgical patients. Conditions treated include sepsis, cardiac arrest, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory failure. The unit also manages alcohol/drug overdose and withdrawal, post-operative care, gastrointestinal bleeding, and end-of-life care. COVID-19 complications are also part of the patient population. The ICU is split with a total of 12 beds: 6 on one floor and 6 on another floor. Higher acuity patients are managed upstairs with a staffing ratio of 1 nurse for every 2 patients. Lower acuity patients are cared for downstairs, with a staffing ratio of 1 nurse for every 3 patients, aided by a PCT. Weekend shifts are required every other weekend with no call obligations. Floating within the facility is required as needed per scope of practice. The unit supports interdisciplinary teams, including physical therapy, respiratory services, and social services. Daily patient census is typically 12. All compliance requirements must be completed by the designated deadline to ensure timely onboarding. Orientation consists of required modules that vary by specialty and will be recorded for compliance purposes.
