Nurses with Heart Care Expertise

Exceptional Nursing Care

When you entrust your care to Florence Wormald Heart & Vascular Institute at St. Elizabeth, you’ll receive care from a highly trained, coordinated team.

We’re known for our exceptional nursing care — we were the first Magnet™ hospital in Greater Cincinnati. This is one of the highest recognitions a hospital can receive, and it means you can expect the very best care.

Specially Trained Heart Care Nurses

Each heart care unit is staffed by nurses who specialize in caring for patients at a particular level of care: our Cardiac Surgery Recovery Unit, our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit or our Transitional Care Units. We believe this specialization in care allows our nurses to perfect their skills in their area of expertise — which means better care for you.

All heart and vascular nurses receive rigorous onboarding and annual training sessions to ensure nurses have the latest skills to manage even the most critical heart and vascular conditions. Our nurses are experienced in performing various procedures — such as working with ventilators — and knowledgeable about the medicines and treatments for various conditions.

Your Partner in Health

In addition, nurse managers will visit with you daily to make sure you get the highest level of care. We use these visits to get feedback about how we can improve. Daily rounds also allow us to talk with you and your family members. These visits are another way we learn about your needs and help you prepare for your recovery at home.

Everything we do is focused on your health and comfort — and it shows.
