Beth Israel Lahey Health
Nurse Manager, MICU
Join the growing BILH team—you’re not just taking a job, you’re making a difference in people’s lives. Lahey believes that the nurse-patient relationship, continuity of care and personal accountability are central to the delivery of individualized high quality patient care. As Lahey continues to grow, we seek experienced and qualified nurses for our Critical Care Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU). The MICU is a 12‑bed acute care area where highly trained nurses care primarily for medical patients requiring ventilatory support and ECG monitoring, and who may also require hemodynamic monitoring, intracranial pressure monitoring, CVVH, TPA for stroke, or hepatic‑renal failure. Working together with the pulmonary team, nurses maintain extensive critical care skills and provide a supportive atmosphere for each other, the patients, and the patients’ families. The patient population ranges from young adults to geriatrics. Services required include but are not limited to pulmonary/critical care, cardiac, neurology, infectious disease, GI/liver transplant, nephrology, and hematology. This role also supports our Venous Access Team.
