Are you an experienced CVICU RN looking for a rewarding opportunity within a high-acuity cardiovascular intensive care environment? Join a dedicated team that provides compassionate, high-focus care to critically ill cardiac patients—including post-open-heart surgery, ventricular support device management, complex cardiac drips, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring.

• Active RN license (Compact or State of Florida—must be obtained before start date).
• 1–2 years of recent ICU experience required; CVICU or cardiac ICU strongly preferred.
• Current BLS & ACLS required (AHA).
• Experience with:
• Ventilators and advanced airway management
• Vasoactive/continuous IV infusions (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine, dobutamine, milrinone)
• Post–open-heart patients, CABG, valve repair/replacements
• Advanced hemodynamic monitoring (e.g., arterial lines, central lines, PA catheters if applicable)
• Strong clinical judgment with the ability to respond rapidly to emergent changes.
• Excellent patient-communication, documentation, and interdisciplinary teamwork abilities.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment requiring autonomy and precision.
