How would you like to become a part of a team providing compassionate care to Veterans?

There are currently three vacancies in our MICU for registered nurses. These positions are for  registered nurses who manage acutely ill patients who may require ventilatory assistance and hemodynamic monitoring, and who continuously monitor patient’s cardiovascular status, recognize abnormal patterns, and intervene effectively.  This includes interpreting data, initiating appropriate actions when problems identified, and monitoring appropriate therapeutic nursing measures, as required.  The nurse communicates with all patients, family members, internal and external co-workers and customers in a courteous, tactful, helpful, and understanding manner. The shift is 12 hours, night shift and will require weekend coverage.    These positions report to the Nurse Manager of the assigned unit. 

This announcement may be used to fill identical positions vacated within 6 months of any selection made from the original announcement.  First area of consideration will be given to permanent Kansas City VAMC employees.  Internal and External Candidates will be considered.  

As a VA professional nurse, your opportunities are endless. With many openings in the multiple functions of VA, you will have a wide range of opportunities at your fingertips. Not only is it the largest, most technologically advanced integrated health care system in the nation, but we also provide many other services to Veterans through the Benefits Administration and National Cemeteries.

VA professionals feel good about their careers and their ability to balance work and home life. VA offers generous paid time off and a variety of predictable and flexible scheduling opportunities.
