Overview
As our Cardiac Stepdown Nurse at CHI St Vincent Infirmary, you'll monitor patients who are critically ill and unstable following extensive injury, surgery, or life-threatening disease.
Your patients are out of CVICU, but not quite well enough to transition to a regular hospital room.
You'll begin each shift by taking report from a nursing teammate before making your rounds. You'll provide continued care and perform procedures as detailed in the care plan.
CV Stepdown Nurses deliver care to patients in critical condition who are suffering heart problems. These patients are often coming out of cardiac surgery and require a very specialized level of care.
To thrive in this role, you'll heavily depend on your ability to multitask and react. You'll clinically care for your patients- remaining focused and attentive as you continuously monitor your patients throughout your shift.
You also serve as their advocate- supporting their best interests when they cannot. However, your sound judgment during an emergency and rapid response are impressive, putting you on the radar for advancement.
