Travel nursing for 1 year or less in the past 5 years

VV ECMO
V-PA ECMO
CRRT (NxStage)

Heart Failure/Cardiogenic shock
Pulmonary Artery Catheters
Prostacyclin Therapies

Highly Desirable
Academic Medical Center experience
Simultaneous management of multiple support devices (e.g. ECMO + CRRT, ECMO + Impella, ECMO + IABP)

Potential Red flags
ECMO experience limited to a perfusionist-managed environment where bedside RN had minimal ECMO-related responsibility
No recent ECMO experience
Limited or no experience with advanced cardiovascular critical care populations
Limited experience with mechanical circulatory support devices beyond ECMO

Recommendation
Candidates should be assessed based on their ability to function within the UCSF ICC care model rather than ECMO experience alone. Prior ECMO experience should be considered one component of a broader competency profile that includes cardiovascular critical care, transplant, mechanical circulatory support, and multi-organ support therapies.

IMPORTANT:
THIS IS A FLOAT POOL POSITION, NOT UNIT BASED: ICU RNs to float to all TCUs and ICUs, ED and PACU.
