Cardiac Surgical Services
Surgical Services
The surgical services provided at NYU Langone comprise several inpatient patient care units specializing in general surgery, bariatric surgery, cardiovascular-thoracic surgery, orthopedic surgery, organ transplant surgery, vascular surgery, and plastic surgery. Nurses interested in this area will learn about the post-procedural management of many different surgeries/procedures and how to approach each case with patient-centered care. Units comprise both acute care and step-down level acuity. In our surgical service, the transplant and plastic surgical services recently performed the most complex and comprehensive face transplant to date, requiring 26 hours of surgery!
Cardiac Services
The cardiac services provided at NYU Langone include invasive cardiology, non-invasive cardiology, and cardiovascular surgery. Invasive cardiology houses a cardiac catheterization lab with a 24/7 STEMI service and an electrophysiology lab performing adult and pediatric procedures. Special programs within our comprehensive cardiac services include a heart failure service and a multi-disciplinary ventricular assist device (VAD) service.
Being a world-class integrated academic health system with a culture of exceptionalism, we have access to cutting-edge technology and procedures. The electrophysiology, cardiac catheterization, and non-invasive cardiology labs perform cutting-edge conduction mapping, implants, and structural and revascularization procedures. For example, some procedures have changed how our team manages patients’ heart failure, allowing them to dose patients’ diuretics based on daily pulmonary artery pressure trends, which prevent congestive heart failure exacerbations.
Radiology
The radiology service at NYU Langone comprises state-of-the-art imaging and invasive vascular and neurologic procedures. Nurses are integral to the interdisciplinary team, supporting patients’ diagnostic and intervention procedures. With rapidly evolving advanced imaging and minimally invasive procedures, patients can often avoid surgery and recover faster. In addition, having just received the Joint Commission designation of comprehensive stroke center, our interventional neuroradiology procedures have also become the gold standard of care for treating acute large vessel occlusive strokes.
Within each specialty and patient care area, our teams are multidisciplinary. Our team values communication, collaboration, and consistent care. We are looking for highly motivated, caring, critical thinkers with a variety of experiences to join our team and help enhance the services. To succeed, an ideal candidate will be motivated to learn and research evidence-based practice to maintain the growth and development of our renowned services. Nursing plays a significant role in the success of our services.
Neurosciences
Our nurses act as integral multidisciplinary health team members, participating in direct patient care, patient/family teaching and discharge planning. We believe in focusing on ability rather than disability and welcome nurses to join us in the following areas:
- Cardio-pulmonary
- Epilepsy
- Neurosurgery
- Psychiatry
- Radiology
- Urology
- Neurology
The Care Management Department at NYU Langone facilitates and promotes an integrative, high-quality, efficient, and educational approach to service delivery. As an engaged team that is integral to daily operations, our Care Management professionals are accountable for the following:
- Balancing an empathic approach to patient and family interaction with sound knowledge of the business of healthcare
- Serving as champions of change to continually improve the process of care management for the benefit of our patients
- Promoting staff involvement in improving and developing standards of care and influencing change within the profession
The Care Management Department is structured with a model that ensures greater responsiveness to the throughput needs of NYU Langone and our patients’ clinical utilization and discharge needs. The department focus includes length of stay (with emphasis on extended stay cases), Emergency Department care management and throughput, clinical advancement and education for professional staff, enhancing community service and agency collaboration, and reducing inpatient medical necessity denials.
Our key to success is a high-performing, integrated team of nurse care managers and social workers supported by a core of administrative support staff. Ongoing integration efforts include team building, staff recruitment, leadership structure and commitment to a shared vision statement.
The medical and surgical ICUs are “closed” units staffed with registered professional nurses with expertise in critical care nursing and board-certified critical care intensivists 24/7. Our Medical ICU nurses care for patients with multiple comorbidities, including cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, orthopedic, oncological and obstetrical emergencies, sepsis and shock. Our Surgical ICU serves patients who have undergone complex cardiothoracic, peripheral vascular, plastic or ENT surgery, as well as those with general surgery complications.
The Cardio-Vascular ICU is an immediate post-open heart critical care unit staffed with Registered Professional Nurses. Medical collaboration is with CV Surgery and Intensivists.
This unit will be the foundation for future units that combine cardiac surgery and cardiology intensive care.
The Alert team proactively rounds on patients and supports nursing staff regarding a plan of care for patients who may be showing signs of clinical deterioration. The Alert Team responds to adult resuscitation responses and MRTs. Our critical care team — intensivists, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and the Alert Team RNs- are part of the hospital’s resuscitation response team.
Our Hemodialysis nurses provide inpatient care to patients with renal failure based on evidence-based standards and recommendations from the American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA), the National Kidney Foundation/Kidney Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF/KDOQI,) and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN). Hemodialysis nurses have achieved certification in nephrology nursing (CNN).
NYU Langone offers unique opportunities for professional growth, a rich clinical environment dedicated to research and discovery, and continued learning through our Nurse Residency and Advanced Professional Development programs. A formal Clinical Ladder Program also rewards excellence and progressive experience, recognizing all knowledge and expertise levels.
Medical ICU
The 18-bed MICU serves patients with various diagnoses, including heart failure, COPD, respiratory failure, pneumonia, influenza, renal insufficiency/failure, sepsis, GI bleeding, liver failure/transplant, and complicated post-op orthopedic and thoracic cases.
Technologies on the unit range from physiologic monitoring to various support systems through advanced therapies, such as CRRT, IABP, and Impella. RoroProne therapy, ECMO, and induced hypothermia. We also have specialty beds optimized for maintaining skin integrity and reducing pressure injuries. Other capabilities include chair/sitting position, turn-assist repositioning, music therapy, basic language translation and bed alarms, and ceiling-mounted patient-lift mechanisms.
Our MICU nurses are highly capable, autonomous providers who take the lead in their patient care and create a true nurse-driven medical unit. RNs who succeed here are motivated, accountable, eager to learn, and ready for various challenges. Teamwork is also heavily promoted in the MICU. We value the collaborative efforts between staff members and the interdisciplinary team.
Neurocritical ICU
In the Division of Neurocritical Care, part of NYU Langone Health’s Department of Neurology, we treat critically ill patients who have conditions that affect the brain, spine, and nervous system. Our physicians oversee more than 50 intensive care unit (ICU) beds—34 at NYU Langone’s Kimmel Pavilion and multiple flex beds at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. Care is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our division’s neurologists, who are all fellowship trained and board certified in neurocritical care.
Conditions we treat include hemorrhagic stroke, including intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and brain aneurysm rupture; traumatic brain injury; large ischemic stroke; brain infections; acute spinal cord injury; status epilepticus; and neuromuscular diseases, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis.
We are highly integrated with NYU Langone’s Center for Stroke and Neurovascular Diseases and the Comprehensive Stroke Center where we care for people who have had a stroke and coordinate care from stroke risk identification through treatment and recovery. We work closely with the Division of Epilepsy to treat patients requiring epilepsy surgery and for treatment of status epilepticus, and we also collaborate with the Department of Neurosurgery to manage their most complex patients as a team.
Our advanced neurological technical capabilities include brain oxygen monitoring with the Licox® Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitoring System, intracranial pressure monitoring, 24-hour continuous video electroencephalographic monitoring, therapeutic temperature modulation, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring.
Cardiovascular ICU
On rotation in Kimmel Pavilion’s cardiovascular ICU, we care for patients having cardiovascular surgeries, pre- and postoperatively, and for critically ill patients requiring procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery, cardiac valve repair or replacement, endovascular aneurysm repair, and ventricular assist device placement.
Surgical ICU
Our Surgical Intensive Care Units (SICUs) provide critical care for patients recovering from various surgeries. The SICUs at NYU Langone Health are staffed by a multidisciplinary team including critical care surgeons, nurses, and other specialists.

As a Magnet® designated facility, shared governance is a cornerstone of our practice. We have an active unit practice council that advises on pertinent clinical issues and identifies particular areas of opportunity for staff-led educational initiatives and quality projects. We continuously focus on quality and strive for excellence when delivering patient care.
The service attributes its success to collaborating with the multi-disciplinary team to focus on individual patient needs. Our team includes registered professional nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, attending physicians/hospitalists, clinical pharmacists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, certified social workers, care managers, chaplaincy service and registered dieticians. The multi-disciplinary approach includes interdisciplinary bedside rounds and daily discharge rounds.
Our medical units serve all adult medicine and cardiology patients. We care for a wide variety of diagnoses but are not limited to the following primary diagnoses: pneumonia, congestive heart failure, and renal failure. Each medicine unit includes an eight-bed step-down unit, providing complex critical patient care. The unit also admits patients when palliative care is the primary goal in their care plan, as well as patients who are waiting for discharge to hospice.
A medically complex patient population requires staff to seek innovative approaches to managing patient care. NYU Langone is a NICHE exemplar site. Our nurses receive specialty training and become Geriatric Resource Nurses (GRNs), making them leaders in Caring for patients 65 years and older. Our nurses also become certified in medical surgical nursing, gerontological nursing, and wound care (NYU-llWCC).
Our units have been recognized for many outstanding achievements, some of which are: winner of the Building the Easiest to Implement Design Plan from the NYU Patient Experience Department, nominated for the Professional Team Achievement Award from the Department of Nursing, and voted most Supportive unit to the Nursing Students from the Rory Meyers NYU College of Nursing.
We’re proud to have a dynamic multi-disciplinary team that has earned stellar outcomes benchmarked against other leading hospitals. There is a strong emphasis on evidence-based practice, collaboration, intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, personal excellence, and a service orientation.

Emergency Medicine Careers
NYU Langone has several emergency care locations, including the Ronald O. Perelman Center for Emergency Services, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, The Home Depot Emergency Department at NYU Langone Health—Cobble Hill, and Emergency Department at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island. These locations offer emergency care for both adults and children, including serious conditions like heart attacks and strokes, as well as minor emergencies like broken bones.
While we highlight two locations in greater detail below—the Ronald O. Perelman Center and our Cobble Hill site—these represent just part of our broader emergency care network. Across all of our emergency departments, we maintain the same high standards, multidisciplinary teamwork, and commitment to delivering exceptional care.
It’s an exciting and dynamic time to work in emergency medicine at NYU Langone. As our system continues to grow, so does the opportunity for passionate, skilled professionals to join our experienced team. We are relentless in our pursuit of quality and strive for perfect care for every patient, every time.
The Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine
The Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine re-opened its doors on April 22, 2014. Made possible by a $50 million gift from Ronald O. Perelman, the new facility offers triple the space of the former ED, including 40 patient care treatment spaces. For the first time at NYU Langone, there is a dedicated pediatric space to help young patients and their families feel more at home. This enables us to treat approximately 200 patients daily in the renovated Emergency Department, which serves as an NYC 911 receiving center designated for hypothermia, stroke, and STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction).
The expanded 22,000 square-foot space includes state-of-the-art resuscitation and trauma bays, an orthopedics room, an ob-gyn room, a particular room equipped for psychiatric emergencies, negative pressure rooms, a medication room staffed by a pharmacist 24/7, and three triage rooms. Other features that benefit both patients and staff are a new lift system that employs slings that attach to the ceiling to help move patients, reducing the risk of back injuries; special floors that make it easier for staff to be on their feet for long periods; and air that is not re-circulated, helping to reduce the chance of spreading infectious disease. We also employ a direct-bedding model to reduce wait times for patients.
The Emergency Department’s professional practice model is such that nursing staff, at every level, can participate in various committees and councils within the department and hospital. Shared governance is evident as councils advise on pertinent clinical issues and identify particular areas of opportunity for staff-led educational initiatives and quality projects. We have won numerous internal awards for our quality and safety programs and have gone on to present these at many national conferences.
The Home Depot Emergency Department at NYU Langone Health—Cobble Hill
The Home Depot Emergency Department at NYU Langone Health—Cobble Hill is located in Brooklyn and is a 16-bed free-standing ED. Patients are treated and discharged or stabilized and transferred. Patients requiring inpatient admission or observation services are transferred to our main campus in Manhattan, NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn, or to a hospital of the patient’s choice. We utilize the same professional practice model at our Cobble Hill site.
Our goal is to provide patient and family-centered care to a diverse patient population representing all ages, cultures and ethnicities. We take an interdisciplinary approach to patient care with a team of ED RNs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, patient care technicians, patient unit associates, emergency service assistants, care managers, social workers, behavioral health nurses and psychiatrists, and board-certified emergency physicians. Our nurses rate the collaborative working environment with our physician colleagues as one of the highest.
In accordance with our Magnet designation, we also utilize evidence-based practices and strongly support a peer education process. Our ED RNs are driven and academically focused, with a healthy intellectual curiosity. Nurses earn at least 50 contact hours annually, with many holding certifications in BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC, CEN, and CEPN. Our clinical ladder is also an excellent way to work towards career advancement.
