This isn't just another nursing job. This is critical care at its boldest.

Provide expert, high-acuity nursing care for post-open heart, thoracic, and complex surgical patients in a fast-paced, team-driven ICU.

Partner with world-class cardiac surgeons, intensivists, and multidisciplinary colleagues to deliver seamless, patient-centered care.

Lead with confidence, developing and executing care plans that reflect deep critical thinking, technical skill, and compassion.

Advocate fiercely for your patients and their families, ensuring their voices are heard in every decision.

Mentor and inspire newer nurses through collaboration, coaching, and leading by example.
