cardiovascular/thoracic patients that are post CABG, heart caths,
valve replacements, thoracotomies, and many other cardiothoracic
surgical procedures. We also see general medical surgical patients
that may have a primary cardiac diagnosis/history with
co-morbidities that may need telemetry monitoring, as well as those
patients needing critical cardiac drips, or Aquadex. On 6NT, we
train our staff to detect medical issues before they become a
problem, so they can respond to those emergent situations quickly

patient/family teaching, IVs, wound care, lab value analysis and
medication administration/ management. Our average nurse to patient
ratio is 1:3 to 1:6 depending on patient acuity. One beautiful
thing about 6NT is we are a heart floor in a heart hospital, so our
beds are in high demand, are typically full, and our staff is
rarely cancelled. We offer flexible scheduling through Bidshift and
promote a team environment. On 6NT, we encourage communication and
collaboration in an environment that is engaging and rewarding for
our health care professionals, as well the patients on our
unit.
