What You Will Do
- Travel to partner hospitals (typically regional; national engagements available) to deliver hands-on bedside training to CVICU / CTICU / cardiac stepdown teams
- Teach AtriAmp setup, connection to temporary epicardial pacing wires, signal acquisition, and bedside workflow integration
- Reinforce rhythm interpretation skills, with emphasis on post-cardiac-surgery arrhythmias and the role of atrial electrograms in differentiating complex rhythms
- Provide clinical perspective on training materials, competency check-offs, and product usability
- Complete vendor credentialing required by host hospitals (Reptrax, Vendormate, symplr, etc.) prior to on-site engagements
Required Qualifications
- Active, unencumbered RN license in at least one U.S. state; eligibility to obtain compact / multistate privileges or single-state licensure as needed for travel
- Minimum 3 years of recent bedside experience in a cardiac ICU — pediatric CVICU or adult cardiac surgery ICU (CTICU) both welcome
- Strong rhythm interpretation competency, including the ability to: Identify and differentiate sinus rhythm, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, junctional rhythms (including JET), SVT, AV blocks (1°, 2° Type I/II, complete), and ventricular arrhythmias
- Interpret atrial electrograms and recognize AV dissociation
- Demonstrate working knowledge of temporary epicardial pacing — modes (AAI / VVI / DDD), capture, sensing, and common failure modes
- Comfort with travel for one- to two-day engagements
- Current BLS certification; ACLS and/or PALS strongly preferred
- Willingness to complete vendor credentialing at host hospitals
Rhythm competency will be assessed as part of the screening process through a structured rhythm strip review and clinical scenario discussion. This is a non-negotiable component of the role.
Preferred Qualifications
- CCRN, CCRN-P, or CCRN-K certification
- Prior clinical educator, clinical specialist, or medical device industry experience
- Familiarity with AtriAmp or with temporary pacing wire workflows in post-op cardiac surgery patients
You are responsible for confirming that participation in this contract role is compatible with your primary employer's outside-employment and conflict-of-interest policies.
Compensation
Compensation is commensurate with experience, clinical credentials, and engagement complexity. Reimbursement for pre-approved travel, lodging, and meals at cost per Atrility's contractor travel policy.
How to Apply
Submit a current résumé and a brief note (3–5 sentences) describing your relevant rhythm and post-op cardiac surgery experience. Qualified candidates will be invited to a clinical interview that includes the rhythm competency assessment.
