The Heart Failure Intensive Care Unit at Cleveland Clinic features 10 private beds and cares for adults with complex and advanced heart failure.

You will receive specialized ICU and device training that will help you build confidence and strengthen your critical-thinking skills. Working in the Heart Failure ICU will allow you to learn how to care for critically ill patients, gain experience with advanced therapies and technology, and work closely with an experienced interdisciplinary team. This environment will challenge you to learn, grow, and develop the skills needed to become a confident and well-rounded ICU nurse.
