Registered Nurse RN MCS LVAD Coordinator

Nurses play a critical role in patient care. They’re the smiling faces patients see when they’re sick; they’re advocates for the patients and their families. Truly, they are the heartbeat of a hospital. We care about you, your nursing career today and your future. Great options and great opportunities.

Banner Health is seeking a Registered Nurse (RN) Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) Coordinator to join the Advanced Heart Failure team at Banner University Medical Center Phoenix. This is a day shift position working Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM with some schedule flexibility, plus 24-hour on-call rotations (including weekend and holiday coverage). The role focuses on providing comprehensive management and coordination of care for patients requiring Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) or Total Artificial Heart (TAH) devices throughout their entire healthcare journey.

In this position, the RN MCS Coordinator is involved in care coordination from pre-implant evaluation through post-operative care and long-term follow-up, collaborating closely with the multidisciplinary team. The coordinator will serve as a vital resource and educator for patients, families, healthcare providers, and community professionals, providing both clinical and technical support. This includes pre and post-operative patient education, staff training, and after-hours support for patient calls. The role also involves quality improvement initiatives, assisting with operating room preparation as needed, and coordinating readmissions for patients experiencing difficulties.

The ideal candidate will have cardiac nursing experience, with ICU experience preferred but not required. Experience with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and/or transplant is highly desirable. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives during critical moments while working collaboratively with physicians, advanced practice practitioners, nursing staff, case managers, and the broader multidisciplinary team. Banner Health is committed to investing in nurses through better pay, benefits, opportunities, and a supportive community that recognizes nurses as the heartbeat of healthcare.
