About this role
Ascension's Pediatric Cardiac ICU in Indianapolis seeks a registered nurse to provide critical care for children recovering from open-heart surgery and living with congenital heart defects. You would manage complex hemodynamic monitoring, operate advanced life support equipment including ECMO and ventricular assist devices, and handle intricate pharmacological interventions for the most vulnerable cardiac patients. The role demands hands-on expertise with ventilators, pacemakers, chest tubes, and invasive monitoring lines in a fast-paced surgical recovery environment.
This position requires an Indiana RN license and BLS certification (obtained within 30 days of hire), with a nursing diploma or bachelor's degree. Ascension prefers candidates with at least one year of pediatric open-heart experience, though the specific requirement language suggests this may be negotiable depending on your background. You'll work full-time in-office, collaborating closely with cardiologists and surgeons while supporting families through their child's critical recovery period.
Ascension is a large nonprofit Catholic health system recognized as a top workplace and military-friendly employer, offering an environment structured around service and care. If you have pediatric cardiac ICU experience or are transitioning into this specialty, this role offers the chance to apply specialized critical care skills in a well-established health system.
