About the Role

You'll work in the facility's primary cardiac and stroke unit, providing continuous monitoring and skilled nursing care to a high-acuity patient population. This is a fast-paced environment with high patient turnover—expect to manage 78–90 admissions and discharges per week across the unit.

Patient Population & Clinical Scope

Care for adults with:

• Pre- and post-cardiac catheterization and pacemaker/ICD implantation

• Acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and transient ischemic attack (TIA)
• Cardiac dysrhythmias, unstable angina, and low-risk chest pain evaluation
• Congestive heart failure
• Patients requiring telemetry, oxygen therapy, and cardiac drip management

You will titrate cardiac drips (Cardizem, Dopamine, Amiodarone), manage TR bands, and interpret cardiac rhythms. The unit also houses COVID-positive patients on high-flow oxygen and BiPAP during surge periods.
