Cardiovascular ICU RN

Alright, let's talk about this CVICU opening at Del Sol Medical Center in El Paso, TX.

This is for a Registered Nurse in their Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit. It's a clinical role where you're the one providing and coordinating direct care, but you're also expected to be a resource and a model for others on the team. You'll work with patients, their families, and the rest of the healthcare staff to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate treatment.

The Work

You'll be based in the CVICU, but they cross train everyone here to help out in other cardiac areas. That means you could be assisting in the Hybrid Operating Room, the Electrophysiology Lab, Heart Recovery, or with non invasive procedures like EKGs and stress testing. Being on call is part of the job.

The core stuff you do will depend on the specific patient population your unit serves.

What You Need to Have

• Your RN license from Texas or a compact state.
• A Basic Cardiac Life Support certification.
• You need to get your Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification within six months of starting.
• At minimum, a Nursing Diploma.
• A solid two years of experience working as an RN.

What Would Make You Stand Out

• A CCRN or other Cardiac Specialty Nursing Certification is a big plus.
• The ability to read, write, and understand basic English well enough to handle physician orders and chart in medical records.
• You should know age appropriate medication dosages and the meds commonly used in critical care settings.
• Familiarity with hemodynamic monitoring and intra aortic balloon pumping is preferred.
• This job involves moving patients; you need to be able to move over 100 pounds with assistance from others or equipment.
• They're looking for someone who can listen, empathize, and respond well to needs from patients, families, and external partners.
• You've got to manage your own team effectively and collaborate within the larger team to make sure patient care stays top quality.
• Strong critical thinking and problem solving skills are non negotiable here.
