Baptist Medical Center South is preparing to open a new 8-bed Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) and Open Heart Surgery Program in Fall 2027.
We are looking for experienced CVICU and critical-care Registered Nurses who want more than their next nursing position—we are looking for nurses who want to help us build a new program from the ground up.
As a founding member of the Baptist South CVICU team, you will have the opportunity to help establish the culture, clinical standards, workflows, teamwork, and expectations of our new unit before the first patient arrives.
In preparation for the Fall 2027 opening, nurses selected for this team will complete their initial clinical training and immersion at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville before transitioning to Baptist Medical Center South. You will work alongside an established cardiovascular critical-care team and gain hands-on experience caring for complex cardiovascular and postoperative cardiac surgery patients. This dedicated clinical immersion is designed to strengthen your cardiovascular critical-care expertise and prepare you to return to Baptist South as a founding member of our new CVICU team.
This is more than an opportunity to join an ICU.
It is an opportunity to help build one.
You will join the team before the first CVICU patient arrives, train alongside an established cardiovascular critical-care program, and then bring that knowledge and experience back to Baptist South.You won't simply inherit the way things have always been done. You will help us establish how we work, how we communicate, how we support one another, and how we deliver exceptional cardiovascular critical care. If you are an experienced critical-care nurse ready for your next challenge, we want you to help us build the future of cardiovascular care at Baptist South. Apply today and become a founding member of the Baptist South CVICU team.
