Lodi, CA
Contracted
Adventist Health Lodi Memorial
Mid Level
Step into the high-stakes, life-changing role of a Registered Nurse in CVICU in California, Lodi, where your clinical expertise and compassionate care directly influence outcomes for cardiac surgery patients. This is a rare opportunity to apply advanced critical care skills, lead in challenging situations, and contribute to a team that treats each patient as a whole person on the road to recovery. Picture yourself delivering precise post-operative care in a state with breathtaking scenery—from the sunlit vineyards of Lodi to the rugged majesty of the Sierra Nevada and Pacific coastlines—where your work-life balance can be nourished by weekend explorations, excellent dining, and vibrant communities. California’s diverse landscapes and the charm of Lodi create an inspiring backdrop for a meaningful nursing career.
Location Benefits: Lodi, CA offers a welcoming community with easy access to the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Northern California’s renowned natural beauty. You’ll enjoy a safe, walkable city with excellent schools, parks, local farmers markets, and a thriving wine-and-dine scene that mirrors the pockets of culture you’ll encounter in the hospital corridors. The surrounding region invites weekend adventures—wine country escapes, river trails, and outdoor recreation—while your professional role keeps you at the forefront of cardiovascular care. For travel nursing enthusiasts, this assignment can serve as a hub with the option to extend to other U.S. locations, exposing you to varied patient populations, hospital cultures, and clinical protocols—broadening your expertise and elevating your resume.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a CVICU Registered Nurse, you will provide direct patient care to adults recovering from complex cardiac procedures, including post-op monitoring, hemodynamic management, and rapid response to evolving clinical situations. Your responsibilities will encompass arterial and central venous access, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator support, vasoactive medication administration, chest tube management, and coordination with surgeons, perfusionists, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, and nursing teams to ensure seamless, evidence-based care. You will champion infection control, accurate documentation, and the efficient utilization of critical care resources while maintaining patient and family communication with sensitivity and clarity. This role offers considerable professional growth within CVICU: you’ll deepen expertise in cardiac post-operative care, complex telemetry, and acute-care protocols, with opportunities to pursue additional certifications, mentorship of junior staff, or leadership experiences as teams evolve. The position also provides competitive benefits, including a sign-on style of recognition, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that let you lengthen your assignment if you wish to deepen your integration in the CVICU team. You’ll have the reassurance of robust support: a dedicated team and 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating challenging shifts alone and that you receive the resources you need to excel on the floor and in your life outside the hospital. Weekly pay ranges from $2,232 to $2,398, reflecting the intensity and responsibility of the CVICU environment, with scheduling that aligns to the realities of your life. The contract is designed for weeks at a time, with flexibility to adapt to unit needs and your professional goals, while the precise duration and total compensation will be confirmed during the hiring process. Please note this assignment may not guarantee minimum hours, and the final terms will be clarified prior to placement.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering nursing professionals, prioritizing career advancement, and fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment. We champion collaborative practice, ongoing education, and transparent communication so you can grow from every shift. You’ll be part of a culture that values your perspective, invests in your development, and celebrates your contributions to patient outcomes and team cohesion. From onboarding to ongoing clinical updates and leadership development, the focus is on helping you flourish—both as a clinician and as a member of a compassionate community.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to apply your CVICU expertise in a setting that balances clinical excellence with the beauty and energy of California, we’d love to hear from you. This is your chance to join a company that prioritizes your professional growth, provides comprehensive support, and recognizes the value you bring to cardiac care. Take the next step—submit your application to begin a journey that can shape your career, impact patients’ lives, and open doors to new experiences across the U.S. The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. Start date is December 29, 2025, with weeks of opportunity ahead and the possibility to extend based on performance and unit needs.
