Proximity Healthcare is looking for RNs to do cardiovascular intensive care unit (CCU/CVICU) nurse agency jobs in Northampton. We’re a healthcare employment and recruitment agency based throughout the UK that specialises in nurse (RN) and healthcare assistant (HCA) hiring. We’re widely recognised for our high-quality negotiation skills– we stick up for what our nurses need, whether that’s flexibility of schedules, better wages, better benefits, and your hospital and role of choice. We’re the recruitment agency on your side, which is why our services are 100% free.
These nurses are highly in demand because of the shortage of qualified and experienced CCU nurses. More and more nurses are leaving the NHS because of its dwindling quality of employment. Proximity Healthcare can offer you work in both the private and public healthcare sectors, so no worries if you’re not a huge fan of the NHS. Additionally, the number of cardiovascular procedures required is increasing because of England’s increasingly ageing population.
Skills and Responsibilities
CVICU nurses are responsible for checking patients’ vitals, administering medication, using defibrillators and CPR, and looking after patients by bathing and feeding them. You’ll need general ICU experience or post-surgical unit experience. Regarding soft skills, you’ll require critical thinking, patience, motivation, communication, professionalism, resilience, the ability to think independently, and well-rounded observation skills for charting and reporting. According to the Bureau of Labour Statistics‘s report, the role is expected to grow by 7%. Patients often need care bordering on what is considered invasive and can be constant. Even a change in skin temperature can clue you into a clinical change.
