Cardiac ICU Nurse Manager

We are searching for an innovative Nurse Manager for our 20 bed Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, serving our rapidly expanding Cardiology/CV surgery program. This unit offers critical care nurses the opportunity to work with an outstanding team of highly qualified caregivers, cardiologists, and cardio-thoracic surgeons with a clear focus on needs of cardiac patients. State of the art technologies include induced hypothermia, intra-aortic balloon pump, ventricular assist device, CRRT, and order set/ protocol driven evidence based practice. Complex Care Rounds are led by a CV Surgeon and are held weekly with representatives from all disciplines involved in CICU patient care. We have once a month "CICU Ask the Surgeon" open dialogue sessions.  Our "shared governance" model continues to evolve with strategies to provide positive outcomes for staff and patients.
