WellStar Kennestone Hospital has an opportunity for a Registered Nurse - General Cardiac
Full time - Night Shift
Blue 6 West functions as a specialized medical unit with 24 beds dedicated to Thoracic Surgery and Cardiac Telemetry. This unit caters to a diverse range of patients, including those undergoing thoracic surgery, individuals with complex medical conditions, and those dealing with cardiac issues and related comorbidities. Among the common admission diagnoses are cases involving lung cancer nodules, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, emphysema, esophageal diverticulum, mediastinal tumors, rib fractures, and patients recovering from VAT (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) procedures. Furthermore, Blue 6 West is equipped to provide care to interventional cardiology patients, such as those recovering from cardiac catheterization, cardiac ablation, pacemaker placement, and patients transferred from the Electrophysiology (EP) lab.
The nursing staff on this unit possesses expertise in heart rhythm assessment and receives comprehensive training in heart failure management. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals vigilantly monitors critical vital signs and promptly addresses any deviations from the baseline or expected outcomes. In essence, Blue 6 West offers continuous observation and care for patients whose conditions don't warrant placement in Intensive Care Units but still demand constant surveillance and monitoring.
