Join a cardiac-focused contract assignment in Cheyenne as a Registered Nurse supporting a high-acuity cardiovascular and cardiothoracic unit. You’ll care for patients before and after heart catheterizations, cardioversions, stent and PCI procedures, CABG and vascular surgeries, as well as patients with NSTEMI, chest tubes, tracheostomies, and noninvasive ventilation needs. This is a great opportunity to work at the heart of complex cardiac care while practicing alongside monitor technicians, respiratory therapy, nurse aides, and an experienced clinical team.

Some medication drips are titrated, including Cardizem, amiodarone, nitroglycerin, and Integrilin. Weekend and holiday coverage follows a rotation, with no call or standby requirement.
