Step into a rewarding and impactful role as a Registered Nurse in CVICU in Saint Helena, California. This is more than a job—it’s a mission to support patients recovering from complex cardiovascular procedures while you grow your expertise in a high-stakes critical care setting. Begin this journey on 12/08/2025 for a weeks-long assignment designed to challenge your clinical acumen and amplify your influence on patient outcomes. Picture yourself collaborating with a dedicated cardiac team, guiding families through delicate transitions, and refining your skills in a domain where every decision can alter a patient’s trajectory. Alongside the professional purpose, you’ll also have the chance to savor the beauty of California’s wine country, where scenic landscapes, artisan cuisine, and outdoor adventures complement your demanding clinical role.

Location benefits go beyond the hospital walls. Saint Helena sits at the heart of Napa Valley, offering a community that values health, wellness, and quality of life. You’ll work within a network renowned for cardiac excellence, with access to specialists, state-of-the-art equipment, and opportunities to learn from seasoned mentors. When you’re off shift, you can explore world-class vineyards, farm-to-table dining, and outdoor pursuits that range from hiking the rolling hills to hot-air ballooning over picturesque valleys. The region’s compact size can foster meaningful connections with colleagues, patients, and families, while its proximity to the broader Bay Area expands your horizons for future assignments, continuing education, and networking. For professionals seeking variety, the assignment also presents pathways to work in other California locations or across the United States, enriching your portfolio with diverse patient populations and care models.

In this CVICU role, you’ll manage the care of post-operative cardiac patients with a focus on stabilization and rapid recovery. Core responsibilities include continuous hemodynamic monitoring, arterial and venous line management, invasive pressure monitoring, ventilator support and optimized weaning strategies, vasoactive medication titration, and meticulous assessment of neurological status in the context of cardiac surgeries. You’ll lead or participate in multidisciplinary rounds, anticipate complications, implement evidence-based interventions, and collaborate closely with surgeons, perfusionists, respiratory therapists, and support staff. Documentation will be precise and timely, with an emphasis on infection control, pain management, and patient/family education. The position is designed to support your professional growth: opportunities to pursue advanced certifications, participate in quality improvement projects, assume charge or lead roles, and serve as a preceptor for new hires or travel nurses. We also prioritize continuity of care, ensuring smooth transitions for patients as they move through the CVICU continuum.
