Join our Cardiovascular ICU team at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend and become part of a highly skilled, collaborative team caring for patients recovering from complex cardiac and vascular procedures.

Why PeaceHealth? Why Now?

The CVICU is not a place where you'll spend your shift sitting at a desk. This is a high-acuity, team-focused environment where CNAs are valued members of the care team and play an important role in supporting patients on their road to recovery.

• Work alongside experienced ICU nurses and cardiovascular specialists in one of the region's leading acute care hospitals.
• Stay engaged and challenged. Every shift brings variety, teamwork, and meaningful patient interaction.
• Develop valuable acute care experience that can help advance your healthcare career.

What You'll Do

As a CNA in our Cardiovascular ICU, you'll work closely with nurses and other caregivers to support patients and help ensure exceptional care throughout their hospital stay.

You will:

• Assist patients with daily care activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating, and hydration.
• Help patients safely move, transfer, reposition, walk, and participate in mobility activities.
• Take and document vital signs, intake and output measurements, and other patient care information.
• Observe patients closely and promptly communicate changes or concerns to the nursing team.
• Support patient comfort, dignity, and safety throughout each shift.
• Assist with treatments and nursing tasks within the CNA scope of practice.
• Stock patient rooms and supply areas to help ensure the care team has what they need.
• Provide clerical support as needed, including answering phones, processing charts, and completing order entry tasks.
