What is great about working on this unit?
This unit is fast-paced cardiac unit with team members who pride themselves on ownership of their team and the patient experience. The team works very well together to advocate for their patients and to provide safe and efficient care. The Cardiac Medical Unit staff is a well-balanced blend of seasoned and newer nurses, nursing assistants and secretaries who collaborate and support each other in their daily work. They are led by a nurse leader who is fresh to the role, yet experienced as a cardiac nurse and nursing supervisor. She engages the team by having fun competitions around their quality metrics. Reward and recognition are also what make the competitions fun! She and the team are supported by a nursing director who has 38 years in health care and 16 years in nursing leadership. There are also 4 charge RNs on day shift and 3 charge RNs on night shift to support the team in their daily work and provide leadership at the point of care. We are looking for people who share our passion for excellence. Don't delay if you think that might be you!

Under the direction of the director/manager and RNs, the nursing assistant facilitates patient care by providing the basic physical care and nursing procedures; providing patients with comfort measures; and maintaining a clean, safe and organized environment.
