Cardiovascular ICU RN

The Role

MedStar Health needs a Cardiovascular ICU RN in Baltimore, MD. If you've got cardiovascular intensive care experience, this is the role where your clinical skills and teaching instincts come together. You won't just be taking care of patients ; you'll be developing the people who do.

What You'll Actually Do

You're the person who figures out what nurses need to learn and then builds the path for them to get there. That onboarding, that orientation, those competency programs ; you own them. You'll design learning programs, implement them, and then evaluate whether they actually worked.

• Assess learning needs across the nursing team using both formal methods and conversations on the unit.
• Build educational offerings that cover everything from mandatory regulatory requirements to quality improvement to clinical advancement.
• Use adult learning theory when you teach ; not lectures, but approaches that push critical thinking and clinical reasoning.
• Coach nurses individually and give feedback that helps them grow professionally and move forward in their careers.
• Run orientation for new hires so they transition smoothly into practice and meet all competency requirements.
• Plan and run competency validation programs regularly for nursing department staff.
• Work with other departments, leaders, and outside experts to pull together relevant learning programs.
• Act as a liaison with academic partners and help coordinate clinical student placements.
• Conduct educational activities around new procedures, technologies, equipment, and patient care trends ; including continuing education credits where it makes sense.
• Support newly licensed nurses through MedStar Health's New to Practice Nurse Residency Program during their transition to practice.
• Sit on committees, join quality and service improvement teams, and represent the hospital in community outreach efforts when needed.

What You Need

• A Master's degree in Clinical Nursing, Nursing Education, or a related field is required.
• 3 4 years of progressive clinical nursing experience is required. Staff development or continuing education experience is preferred but not mandatory at hire.
• RN license active in Maryland (or a compact state license that covers Maryland). Required before starting.
• CPR certification, including BLS (and NRP if applicable), from either AHA or American Red Cross within 90 days of hire. Required before starting otherwise; some units may have additional specialty certifications needed later depending on where you land.

The Skills That Matter Here

• A high level of clinical competence that people notice right away ; especially in cardiovascular ICU settings specifically (that's non negotiable).
• Smooth interpersonal skills: you can talk to anyone clearly both verbally and on paper; written communication matters just as much here as what comes out loud does daily round tables count too.
