ICW Overview:

The Intermediate Care Ward (ICW) provides nursing care for hospitalized patients who are medically stable but continue to require ongoing treatment, monitoring, and supportive care. While ICW patients generally do not require the same level of intensive monitoring as ICU patients, nurses in this area typically manage a higher number of patients and must be able to prioritize care, stay organized, and recognize changes in patient condition quickly.

The ICW is open to all hospital services, so patients may come from Emergency, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Critical Care, or other specialty departments. Patients may be recovering from procedures, receiving IV medications or fluid therapy, undergoing continued diagnostics or treatment, or transitioning out of the ICU as their condition improves.

We are hiring exceptional Veterinary Technicians to join our growing ICW nursing team. This role is ideal for technicians who enjoy managing multiple hospitalized patients, have strong time-management and organizational skills, and want to continue developing their inpatient nursing abilities. Since ICW nurses manage a higher patient load, communication, prioritization, attention to detail, and efficient workflow are essential.

Who we are:

Located in Culver City, ACCESS LA is a referral hospital with 24hour Emergency services, where our technicians encounter a variety of cases while working closely with some of the most qualified doctors in the country. Since we have numerous specialty departments, it’s possible a tech’s day could involve a Macaw with a broken beak, time in one of our many advanced operating rooms, watching our Orthopedic Surgeons replace a dog’s elbow, or operating an MRI. It’s a long list of unique experiences best suited to those who absolutely love caring for sick or injured animals in a high-paced, renowned animal hospital.
