UNIT BIO:

MFT5 is a 40-bed cardiac telemetry unit seeking highly motivated RNs to join their team at Maine Medical Center. This fast-paced diagnostic and procedural unit cares for a complex cardiac population of patients including: NSTEMI, AFIB, Unstable Angina, Advanced Heart Failure and LVADs.

The nursing team on MFT5 encompass nurses who deliver excellent patient care, take pride in teamwork, and who strive to continually develop themselves and each other professionally.

The Malone Family Tower is an eight-story addition to MaineHealth Maine Medical Center’s historic campus in Portland, Maine. It marks the culmination of a decade-long initiative to improve access to hospital-based care, increase the number of private rooms, and support better patient outcomes. As the hospital approaches 150 years of service, it faced the challenge of remaining on its original site while addressing aging infrastructure, inefficient space, and a shortage of surgical beds. To meet the needs of Portland’s growing and aging population—particularly in cardiac care—it expanded with the Malone Family Tower, which includes 40 pre- and post-surgical beds, 19 procedure rooms, 96 universal patient rooms. Maine's rugged coastline, with its rocky shores, dense forests, and pristine waters, served as the inspiration for this structure’s design and materials. A striking, faceted facade gives way to a soaring seven-story atrium that seamlessly links the public concourse, clinical spaces, and lounges. This central atrium serves as the heart of the building, unifying all seven levels, filling the interiors with natural light, and transforming enclosed areas into open, welcoming spaces.

Summary:
The Clinical Nurse supports Maine Medical Center's mission, vision, and values by exhibiting the following behaviors: excellence, competence, collaboration, innovation, respect, patient and family centered care, commitment to our community, and accountability. In accordance with national standards of nursing practice and within the guidelines and policies and procedures of both Maine Medical Center and the Maine State Board of Nursing, the Clinical Nurse is responsible for assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation, documentation, and evaluation of the effects of nursing care. Care delivery and coordination of patient and family care begins with the initial contact with the health care system and may continue across the continuum. Services may be provided on an inpatient, outpatient, ambulatory, and/or community basis.
