Serving as an ICU step-down unit allows CICCU staff members to care for cardiac patients and patients from all other specialties and areas. Caring for high acuity patients requires that teamwork be utilized every day in this fast-paced, high-energy unit. Orientation is individually based and can last between 8-12 weeks depending on the needs of the new team member.
