About the Role

HireNow Staffing is partnering with a world-class healthcare facility in Houston's renowned Texas Medical Center to recruit three Advanced Practice Providers with a specialization in high-acuity cardiovascular critical care.

This is not your average ICU role. You'll be at the frontline of one of the most advanced heart failure programs in the country delivering complex care to patients supported by mechanical circulatory devices, transplants, and ECMO therapy in a high-tech, multidisciplinary environment.

What You'll Do

As a Heart Failure ICU Nurse Practitioner, you will work alongside a seasoned team of intensivists, surgeons, and critical care specialists to manage patients with advanced and often life-sustaining interventions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform comprehensive clinical assessments and formulate differential diagnoses

• Initiate and manage treatment plans for patients with severe cardiac or pulmonary conditions, including post-surgical recovery, transplants, and cardiogenic shock

• Execute advanced ICU procedures (as credentialed) including:

  • Central and arterial line placements

  • Intubation and ventilator management

  • Pulmonary artery catheterization

  • Thoracentesis and chest tube removal

  • Lumbar punctures

• Monitor MCS devices and ECMO circuits with ICU team support

• Educate patients and families on diagnosis, treatment, and recovery plans

• Ensure regulatory compliance and accurate documentation

• Participate in clinical research, performance improvement, and education programs as needed

Who You Are

You're a decisive and detail-driven critical care provider who thrives in high-pressure environments. You are comfortable with cardiac technology, value collaborative care, and believe in treating patients and families with dignity and respect through every step of their journey.

Required Qualifications:

• Active Nurse Practitioner license in Texas (or eligibility)

• Board-certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP only)

• 2-3 years of RN or NP experience in a Cardiac ICU, CV Recovery, or Transplant setting

  • New graduate NPs must have prior ICU RN experience with heart failure, transplant, or CV surgery patients

• BLS and ACLS required

• ECMO and LVAD familiarity highly preferred

• Exceptional clinical judgment and emotional intelligence

What You'll Gain

This is a rare opportunity to build your career in a top-tier ICU setting where cutting-edge medicine meets a strong culture of teamwork, mentorship, and continuous learning.

Perks & Incentives:

• Competitive base salary + 8% geo adjustment

• CME allowance and professional development support

• Comprehensive insurance package (medical, dental, vision, life)

• Generous paid time off

• Exposure to complex cardiac and transplant cases not seen in most community hospitals

• Opportunity to work with nationally recognized cardiac teams in a collaborative, supportive environment
