6NT is a 36 – private bed unit specializing in cardiac care for patients who have had open heart surgery. We see 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 or history with comorbidities that may need telemetry monitoring, as well as those patients needing critical cardiac drips.
On 6NT, we train our staff to detect medical issues before they become a problem, so they can respond to those emergent situations quickly and confidently.
We have many opportunities for assessments, patient / family teaching, IVs, wound care, lab value analysis and medication administration / management.
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.
