Salary Range: $22.35 - $33.16 per hour

The hiring rate is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to education, training, work experience, terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement, seniority, etc.

If you're a CNA who thrives in a fast-paced hospital environment, enjoys staying active throughout your shift, and finds purpose in helping critically ill patients through some of their most challenging moments, we'd love to meet you. Join our Cardiovascular ICU team at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend and become part of a highly skilled, collaborative team caring for patients recovering from complex cardiac and vascular procedures.

Why PeaceHealth? Why Now?

The CVICU is not a place where you'll spend your shift sitting at a desk. This is a high-acuity, team-focused environment where CNAs are valued members of the care team and play an important role in supporting patients on their road to recovery.

What's in it for you?

• Work alongside experienced ICU nurses and cardiovascular specialists in one of the region's leading acute care hospitals.
• Stay engaged and challenged. Every shift brings variety, teamwork, and meaningful patient interaction.
• Develop valuable acute care experience that can help advance your healthcare career.
• Be part of a team that relies on one another. Reliability, teamwork, and strong work ethic are highly valued and recognized.
• Make a real impact. Your support helps patients navigate critical recovery periods following major cardiac and vascular procedures.

What You'll Do

As a CNA in our Cardiovascular ICU, you'll work closely with nurses and other caregivers to support patients and help ensure exceptional care throughout their hospital stay.

You will:

• Assist patients with daily care activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating, and hydration.
• Help patients safely move, transfer, reposition, walk, and participate in mobility activities.
• Take and document vital signs, intake and output measurements, and other patient care information.
• Observe patients closely and promptly communicate changes or concerns to the nursing team.
• Support patient comfort, dignity, and safety throughout each shift.
• Assist with treatments and nursing tasks within the CNA scope of practice.
• Stock patient rooms and supply areas to help ensure the care team has what they need.
• Provide clerical support as needed, including answering phones, processing charts, and completing order entry tasks.
• Contribute to a collaborative team environment where responsiveness and attention to detail matter.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on their feet, can prioritize competing demands, and understands the urgency that comes with caring for critically ill patients.
