6NT is a 36 - private bed unit specializing in cardiac care for patients who
have had open heart surgery. We see cardiovascularthoracic patients that are
post-CABG, heart caths, valve replacements, thoracotomies, and many other
cardiothoracic surgical procedures. We also see general medical-surgical
patients that may have a primary cardiac diagnosis or history with
comorbidities that may need telemetry monitoring, as well as those patients
needing critical cardiac drips. On 6NT, we train our staff to detect medical
issues before they become a problem, so they can respond to those emergent
situations quickly and confidently. We have many opportunities for
assessments, patientfamily teaching, IVs, wound care, lab value analysis and
medication administration management. We encourage communication and
collaboration in an environment that is engaging and rewarding for our health
care professionals, as well the patients on our unit.
