Critical Care Nurse

As the nation’s largest private employer of registered nurses, we’re honored by the trust of over 100,000 nurses and committed to supporting safe, high‑quality care that they can practice.

Critical Care Nurse

The Registered Nurse coordinates and delivers high‑quality, patient‑centered care in accordance with the nature and requirements of the department and consistent with state and specialty standards. In collaboration with medical providers and other members of the care team, the RN provides individualized, comprehensive, and compassionate care using established nursing models such as “Assess, Perform, Teach, and Manage.” The RN serves as an advocate for patients, families, and caregivers and models a commitment to the organization’s vision, mission, and values to support an unparalleled patient experience and clinical outcomes.
