Date is February 12th, 2023Work where every moment matters.Every
day, over 35,000 Hartford HealthCare colleagues come to work with
one thing in common: Pride in what we do, knowing every moment
matters here. We invite you to become part of Connecticut's most
comprehensive healthcare network.Hartford Hospital is one of the
largest and most respected teaching hospitals in New England. We
are a Level 1 Trauma Center that provides cutting edge treatment to
its patients. This is made possible by being home to the largest
robotic surgery center in the Northeast and the Center for
Education, Simulation and Innovation (CESI), one of the
most-advanced medical simulation training centers in the world.
When hospitals cannot provide the advanced care, expertise and new
treatment options their patients require, they turn to us.Program
DescriptionHartford Hospital has implemented a comprehensive
graduate nurse transition to practice program incorporating nursing
core competencies focusing on our values of excellence, safety,
caring and integrity. Graduate nurses are hired into the
organization in cohorts. The cohort members attend nursing
orientation together and are followed through the series of
educational opportunities over a 24 week period.Each graduate nurse
will have dedicated preceptors to guide them through the process of
orientation, as well as a committed unit based nurse educator and
manager.Graduate nurse orientation includes a variety of
experiential learning modalities which provide opportunities for
assimilation and application of clinical theory and concepts to
bedside practice. Hartford Hospital uses a standardized on-line
didactic educational program designed by the governing body of
critical care nursing (American Association of Critical Care
Nursing) called the "ECCO" program (Essentials of Critical Care
Orientation). This program along with classroom instruction,
clinical experiences and simulation provide a blended approach to
learning designed to enhance the knowledge and growth of each new
nurse.Every graduate nurse is also automatically enrolled in the
hospital based Nurse Residency program which incorporates graduate
nurses from across the organization. This program, besides being
educational, brings our graduate nurses together promoting social
support and relevant discussion of common situations encountered in
the first year of practice.Once the orientation period is
completed, participant evaluations provide the opportunity for
valuable feedback used to impact and enhance the experience of
current and future graduate nurses.Eligible Critical Care units:In
critical care, our nurses are highly skilled and trained; helping
to provide expertise at the bedside and the highest quality care in
the most compassionate way. The units heavily rely on a team-based
mentality in which all healthcare team members work congruently to
achieve the best outcomes based on the Hartford Healthcare values
of Safety, Excellence, Integrity and Caring.Medical ICU: The
Medical Intensive Care Unit is a 16-bed unit that provides care to
patients with a wide range of complex, highly acute medical issues.
These issues include but are not limited to; respiratory failure,
gastrointestinal bleeding, liver injury/failure, kidney
injury/failure, sepsis, and drug and alcohol withdrawal. Under the
supervision of a Critical Care Pulmonologist, the unit is staffed
24 hours-a-day with a team of Physician Assistants, Advanced
Practice Registered Nurses, and medical house staff physicians
consisting of interns and residents.Cardiac ICU: In the Hartford
HealthCare Heart and Vascular Institute, Cardiac Intensive Care
unit's population primarily consists of patients with myocardial
infarctions, cardiogenic shock, advanced heart failure, and
post-cardiac arrest. Nurses are trained in the use of specialized
equipment to monitor and treat these patient populations. Some of
these are: transvenous pacemakers, intra-aortic balloon pumps,
temporary ventricular assist devices, pulmonary artery catheters,
and targeted temperature management. The unit works closely with
the Cardiac Catherization lab, Electrophysiology department, and
the Cardiovascular Surgical Team.Neuro-Surgical ICU: The
Neuro-Surgical ICU is a 17 bed adult inpatient unit caring for
critically ill Neuro-science and Neuro-surgical patients. Our
patient population consists of stroke, head and spinal cord trauma
and brain hemorrhage. These patients require nurses who specialize
in monitoring intracranial pressures, brain tissue oxygenation and
hemo-dynamic monitoring. RN's in this specialty also must have a
family-centered approach because of the critical nature of our
patients. We also work closely with our Neuro-intensivist,
Physician Assistants and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses to
provide the highest quality of care for our patients. Our nurses
must display the Hartford Healthcare values of Safety, Excellence,
Integrity and Caring.Surgical-Trauma ICU: The Surgical-Trauma
Intensive Care Unit is a 14-bed unit. As a Level 1 Trauma Center,
the mainstream patient population includes motor vehicle trauma,
orthopedic injuries, vascular surgical, abdominal surgical, liver
and kidney transplant, and extensive esophagectomy patients. Under
the supervision of the rounding Surgical-Trauma Intensivist, the
unit has a team of Physician Assistants, Advanced Practice
Registered Nurses, and surgical house staff physicians consisting
of interns and residents.Program Requirements:The ICU Nurse
