CCU Nurse

As a CCU nurse, you will work in the Cardiac Care Unit, High Care Thoracic Surgery, or High Care Cardiology. Here, you provide care to patients admitted for all kinds of conditions in the cardiological and cardio-thoracic fields. This includes non-STEMI, STEMI, acute rhythm disorders, open-heart surgeries, lung surgeries, electrophysiological treatments, percutaneous interventions, and congenital conditions. Also, terminal heart failure with the potential prospect of an LVAD or heart transplant.

You are there from the very first moment: you guide patients and their families, provide education, and offer intensive, specialized care. Such as the administration of inotropics, the care of arterial lines, interpreting blood gases, and respiratory support with Optiflow. Additionally, you assist with cardioversions, ILR implantations, ajmaline tests, and pressure measurements with a Swan-Ganz catheter.

The diversity of patients and the cardiac care unit (CCU) located within our department make your work even more challenging.

And there is more: alongside your nursing duties, you supervise CCU students and actively contribute to nursing innovations. Here, you grow every day—professionally and personally.
