What are the responsibilities and job description for the Registered Nurse (CCU) position at Louisiana Nurse Staffing Corporation?
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Registered Nurse to join its Critical Care Unit (CCU) team. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced, high-acuity environment where patient care and advanced technology come together to deliver exceptional outcomes.
Position Overview
As a Registered Nurse in the CCU, you will play a vital role in caring for patients requiring intensive, critical care support. Candidates must have a minimum of 2 years of ICU experience and proficiency with Epic EMR systems. Patient ratios are typically 1:2, though they may occasionally flex to 1:3 based on unit needs. Responsibilities include essential procedures such as lab sticks, EKGs, and line starts, ensuring prompt and precise care delivery. This position requires adaptability, as nurses will float to all ICU areas, and occasionally to the Emergency Department (ED), PACU, Med/Surg, or PCU units to assist with ICU-level patient care.
Nurses will work with devices such as Alaris IV Pumps, Servo I Ventilators, Fresenius CRRT Dialysis Machines, Edwards Lifesciences Cardiac Monitors, Arctic Sun TMS, and more. This opportunity is ideal for a critical thinker with strong clinical judgment, professionalism, and a dedication to teamwork.
