Registered Nurse (RN) - CVICU RN/ECMO Specialist (CVICU)

About the role

The Registered Nurse ECMO Specialist provides nursing care to cardiac or respiratory failure patients who require ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) therapy within the Cardiovascular ICU. This includes patient management, monitoring, and maintenance of the ECMO circuit, and responsibilities related to rapid response for ECMO cannulation, equipment/pump initiation, and set-up. Initial training will be within the Cardiovascular ICU as a staff RN and the expectation will be to float between the staff RN role as well as the ECMO Specialist role. While ECMO experience would be a plus, training will be provided within the department.
