Location: Henry Ford Jackson Hospital
Schedule: 40 hours per week; 6:30a-5pm; No weekends or holidays.
Unit Overview:
The Cardiovascular Operating Room (CVOR) within Surgical Services at Henry Ford Jackson is a specialized, high-acuity surgical environment focused on the care of cardiac and vascular patients in a Level II Trauma setting. The team supports a wide range of complex procedures, including open vascular, endovascular, CABG, and valve surgeries, operating under a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio. CVOR nurses function primarily as circulating nurses, coordinating all aspects of patient care during procedures—maintaining the sterile field, supporting the surgical and anesthesia teams, monitoring patient status, and ensuring readiness of equipment and supplies in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
The department is a close-knit team of approximately 12 members who operate with a strong sense of collaboration and mutual support, creating a “family-like” culture where teamwork, anticipation, and accountability are essential. Staff receive a structured 3–6-month orientation tailored to their experience level. This unit is ideal for experienced nurses seeking advanced surgical expertise in a highly specialized field while working in a supportive, team-driven environment.
Provides clinical leadership in the coordination and delivery of high-quality, compassionate patient care in the cardiovascular operating room environment. Utilizes the nursing process of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation to provide, delegate, supervise, and document comprehensive care and patient/family education. Communicates pertinent clinical information effectively with the interdisciplinary healthcare team and actively participates in identifying and implementing solutions to optimize patient outcomes.
