Job description

General Summary of Position

The Intermediate Care Unit (IMC) at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital serves as a critical bridge between the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and general medical-surgical floors. The unit is designed for patients requiring close observation and advanced nursing care—more than what a general floor provides, but not at the intensity level of the ICU.

Patients in the IMC often present with complex medical needs, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and post-operative conditions. With access to continuous cardiac telemetry, frequent vital monitoring, and respiratory support, the IMC is equipped to manage a high-acuity, medically diverse population.

Unit Highlights:

• 36-bed intermediate care unit serving a broad medical population.
• Respiratory support: BiPAP, CPAP.
• Cardiac and insulin drips for complex management.
• Dedicated support staff, including:
• Assigned Telemetry Technicians for real-time cardiac monitoring.
• On-unit Respiratory Therapists for seamless respiratory interventions.
• Diverse and collaborative nursing team focused on teamwork, professional growth, and continued learning.
• Flexible scheduling options to support work-life balance and staffing needs.

Key Responsibilities

As a Clinical Nurse, you will deliver proficient nursing care to patients and families whose needs range from uncomplicated to highly complex. You will identify current and potential complex problems of specific patient populations and critically analyze trends and changes in patient status to plan appropriate interventions, either directly or through other nurses.

What We Offer

• Culture: Collaborative, inclusive, diverse, and supportive work environment.
• Career growth: Career mentoring to help you pursue your passions and gain skills to enhance your value.
• Wellbeing: Competitive salary and Total Rewards benefits to help keep you happy and healthy.
• Reputation: Regional & national recognition, advanced technology, and leading medical innovations.

Qualifications

• ADN, BSN, MSN, or CNL from an accredited School of Nursing required.
• Prior Clinical Nursing Experience preferred.
• Active MD RN License or Active Compact State RN license and Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers required.
