6 North is a 38‑bed cardiovascular unit that specializes in caring for adult patients with heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, newly implanted pacemakers and defibrillators, LVAD readmissions, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac conditions requiring medical treatment. Most patients receive continuous telemetry monitoring. Care is provided 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Individuals would want to work on this unit due to the large variety of cardiovascular and progressive care experiences that allow for a robust skill set. If they were to transfer to another unit, they would gain time management and proficiency in managing patients with complex conditions. Skills you can gain include bipap, respiratory management, pulmonary hypertension treatments, management of multiple IV drips, heart failure management, and telemetry monitoring.

The culture of this unit is teamwork and support. Staff works closely with physicians and other health‑care providers and services to provide optimal inpatient care. The unit emphasizes patient education and community resources. Staff within this unit have been recipients of the Daisy Award for nursing.
