The University of Iowa Health Care, Department of Nursing, is seeking a Nurse Manager to provide leadership and management of the Nursing team in delivering safe, quality, family-centered patient care in collaboration with interdisciplinary teams.
The Surgical and Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit (SNICU) is the largest intensive care unit in Iowa, seeing more than 2,500 patients each year. The 36-bed unit is structurally divided into three bays. It is staffed by a multidisciplinary team skilled in the care of acutely ill surgical and neuroscience patients.
Beyond routine care for patients requiring intensive care following surgery, the SNICU provides care for patients suffering from:
Respiratory failure Sepsis Multi-system trauma Peri-operative complications Acute neurological injuries Pre- and post-organ transplantation care Pain
