The Registered Nurse in AICU creates, nurtures, and sustains a healthy work environment with a focus on the patient. Our staff members take ownership of decisions in which top quality outcomes are achieved. The AICU is a mixed specialty unit with a variety of surgical, medical, and cardiac critically ill patients.
On this 12‑bed Adult ICU, experienced Registered Nurses care for a diverse and clinically complex population, including patients with respiratory failure, ARDS, sepsis and shock, DKA, heart and renal failure, STEMIs, strokes, and complex ENT and high‑risk surgical cases. Nurses regularly manage mechanically ventilated patients, titrate multiple high‑risk IV drips (vasoactive, sedative, insulin, and cardiac infusions), and gain exposure to advanced therapies such as CRRT and invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
Registered nurses on the AICU practice with a high level of autonomy while collaborating closely with intensivists, hospitalists, PT/OT, case management, and patient and family liaisons to deliver evidence‑based, multidisciplinary critical care. The unit supports a broad range of acuity, allowing ICU nurses to apply and maintain advanced critical care skills while caring for both high‑acuity and medically complex patients across cardiac, medical, and surgical populations.
As a smaller unit, Registered Nurses on the AICU benefit from strong interdisciplinary teamwork and accessible leadership that understands the demands of ICU practice and supports professional growth, flexibility, and work‑life balance.
