About this role
Ascension's Cardiac ICU Nurse Intern position in Wichita offers hands-on clinical experience in a high-acuity setting while you pursue your nursing degree. You'll work directly with a preceptor, supporting cardiac patients through essential care activities, vital sign monitoring, and documentation. Beyond bedside tasks, you'll contribute meaningfully to care planning by reporting patient observations and test results that inform clinical decisions, giving you early exposure to how nurses shape patient outcomes.
The role requires current BLS certification (obtained within your first month) and enrollment in an accredited nursing program, with classes starting within 90 days of hire.
