Description
New Graduate Registered Nurse | Cardiac Progressive Care Unit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Start your nursing career where challenge, support, and growth come together.
Are you a new graduate RN looking for an opportunity to build a strong clinical foundation while caring for patients with complex medical needs? Join the Cardiac Progressive Care Unit (PCU) at UNC Health Pardee and begin your career in an environment where you can learn, grow, and make a meaningful difference for patients and families.
Our Cardiac Progressive Care Unit provides an excellent opportunity for newly licensed nurses who are interested in cardiac nursing, progressive care, or eventually advancing into other high-acuity specialties. Nurses on PCU develop skills caring for moderate-to-high-acuity patients who require close monitoring, frequent reassessment, and collaborative interdisciplinary care.
Why start your nursing career on PCU?
As a new graduate RN, you'll have the opportunity to strengthen your clinical judgment and gain experience with:
- Continuous cardiac monitoring and telemetry
- Focused cardiac, respiratory, and neurological assessments
- Patients with complex and changing clinical conditions
- IV medications, fluids, and cardiac-focused therapies
- Early recognition of changes in patient condition
- Prioritization and time management in a fast-paced environment
- Patient and family education
- Collaboration with experienced nurses and the interdisciplinary care team
Built for new nurses
You don't need years of nursing experience to make an impact here. We're looking for new graduates who are curious, compassionate, eager to learn, and ready to become part of a team.
Through UNC Health Pardee's Newly Licensed Registered Nurse (NLRN) experience, new nurses can build confidence through a guided transition into professional nursing practice, with an emphasis on education, hands-on learning, mentorship, and clinical development.
We're looking for someone who:
- Is graduating soon or has recently graduated from an accredited nursing program
- Is eligible for or has obtained RN licensure
- Is passionate about providing safe, compassionate, patient-centered care
- Enjoys learning in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
- Is interested in cardiac, progressive, or higher-acuity nursing
- Wants to continue developing clinical knowledge, confidence, and critical-thinking skills
Your nursing career starts here.
Your first nursing position is about more than finding a job. It's about finding the right place to learn, build confidence, develop your clinical skills, and discover the nurse you want to become.
If you're ready to take the next step from nursing student to registered nurse, we'd love to introduce you to the Cardiac Progressive Care team at UNC Health Pardee.
Apply today and start building your future in cardiac nursing.
