Description
Summary:
Cardiovascular Step-Down is a 31-private bed unit that specializes
in cardiac care for patients who have had open heart surgery. We
see cardiovascular/thoracic patients and families that are post
CABG, heart caths, valve replacements, thoracotomies, and other
cardiothoracic surgical procedures. We also see general medical
surgical patients that may have a primary cardiac diagnosis/history
with co-morbidities that may need telemetry monitoring, as well as
those patients needing critical cardiac drips. On Unit 41, we train
our staff to detect medical issues before they become a problem, so
they can respond to those emergent situations quickly and
confidently. We have many opportunities for assessments,
patient/family teaching, IVs, wound care, lab value analysis and
medication administration/ management. Our average nurse to patient
ratio is 4:1. We offer flexible scheduling and promote a team
environment. On Unit 41, we encourage communication and
collaboration in an environment that is engaging and rewarding for
our health care professionals, as well the patients on our
unit.
