Location: Phoenix, AZ Agency: Magnet Medical Pay: $2,149 per week
Shift Information: Nights - 3 days x 12 hours Contract Duration: 13
Weeks Start Date: 3/2/2026 About the Position TravelNurseSource is
working with Magnet Medical to find a qualified CVICU RN in
Phoenix, Arizona, 85013! The Registered Nurse (RN) in the
Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) provides specialized
care to critically ill patients with cardiovascular conditions,
including those recovering from open-heart surgery, severe heart
attacks, heart failure, arrhythmias, or other serious cardiac
events. This role requires advanced nursing skills, critical
thinking, and the ability to respond to rapid changes in patient
status. The CVICU RN will work as part of a multidisciplinary team
to ensure the highest standard of care for patients in a
high-acuity setting. Key Responsibilities: Patient Assessment:
Perform comprehensive assessments of critically ill patients with
cardiovascular conditions, including evaluation of cardiac rhythm,
hemodynamics, and other vital signs. Monitor and assess patients
post-cardiac surgeries (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting,
valve replacement) and interventional procedures (e.g.,
angioplasty, stent placement). Identify changes in patient
condition and take immediate action to prevent deterioration.
Critical Care Management: Administer complex medications and
treatments for cardiovascular patients, including vasoactive drugs,
antiarrhythmic medications, and anticoagulants, according to
protocols. Monitor and adjust invasive monitoring devices such as
arterial lines, central venous pressure (CVP) lines, pulmonary
artery catheters, and ventilators. Provide life-saving
interventions in emergencies, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) or assisting with intubation and other emergency procedures.
Post-Operative Care: Provide intensive monitoring and care for
patients post-cardiac surgery or catheter-based procedures. Manage
ventilator support and weaning, post-operative drainage, and ensure
adequate pain management. Assess and manage complications, such as
bleeding, arrhythmias, or signs of organ failure. Collaboration:
Work closely with cardiologists, cardiac surgeons,
anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare
providers to develop and implement patient care plans. Communicate
with the patient’s family about their condition, prognosis, and the
next steps in care. Patient Education: Educate patients and
families on the recovery process, cardiac health, medications,
lifestyle modifications, and long-term care needs. Provide
emotional support to patients and families during critical and
recovery phases. Documentation: Accurately document assessments,
interventions, outcomes, and changes in patient status in the
electronic medical record (EMR). Ensure all procedures and patient
responses are documented according to facility and regulatory
standards. Safety & Infection Control: Adhere to strict infection
control protocols, especially in managing invasive lines and
surgical sites. Ensure safe handling and disposal of hazardous
materials and medications. Provide a clean and safe environment for
patients, reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
Emergency Response: Act quickly and effectively in response to
cardiovascular emergencies, including arrhythmias, acute myocardial
infarction (heart attack), or respiratory failure. Utilize advanced
equipment, such as defibrillators, and collaborate with the
healthcare team in high-pressure situations. Mentorship and
Education (if applicable): Serve as a preceptor or mentor to new
nursing staff and nursing students in the CVICU. Participate in
continuing education and professional development to stay current
with advances in cardiovascular care and ICU practices. 5 Benefits
