Inspired by the energy of our expanding metro area, we invite you to join us and see the big difference we can make together.

The Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) is looking for an Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to join its collaborative group of highly autonomous APPs. The APP in the CVICU is part of a team caring for acutely ill patients in the ICU, whose condition can change rapidly. They are responsible for developing a plan of care for their patient load, presenting the plan to the attending physician and medical team, carrying out the plan throughout the day, and adjusting the plan as the patient’s condition changes. The CVICU APP performs procedures such as endotracheal intubation, central venous and arterial line placement, chest tube placement, chest tube removal, intracardiac line removal, and temporary pacing wire removal. The APP is expected to participate in both formal and informal education for the CVICU RNs and MD fellows, and to actively participate in all division-related meetings.

An ideal candidate will have at least five years of ICU experience as a bedside RN, preferably in the CVICU setting, as well as strong clinical experience in an ICU setting as a student. However, these items are not required for consideration. An Acute Care Certification is required.

The hours worked by the APP in the CVICU are varied and include day shifts, night shifts, weekends, and holidays. As this is shift work and an exempt position, the amount of work per week is not always consistent (i.e., you may work three days one week and two night shifts the next week). The day shift hours are typically 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and night shift hours are 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. The APP in the CVICU provides care to a caseload of patients within their scope of practice as outlined by applicable state law, regulations, institutional policies, and practice agreements. They function as a licensed independent practitioner (LIP) who works collaboratively within a multidisciplinary health team including cardiac intensivists, cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, pediatric surgeons, and other subspecialists as needed. The APP provides care only to patients in an inpatient setting and is directly supervised by the Division Chief and Director of Advanced Practice Services, under the direction of the Physician-in-Chief.
