Registered Nurse RN Vascular Access Specialist

Better Than Ever for Nurses. We’re making the biggest investment ever in creating a better employment experience for our nursing team members.  At Banner Health, we take care of nurses. Nurses take care of everyone.

Join one of the most unique and specialized vascular access teams in the nation at North Colorado Medical Center. Our blended RN and Respiratory Therapist (RRT) team is the only vascular access team in the country that spans the full continuum of care — from NICU through geriatric populations — serving both inpatient and outpatient settings.

This is not your typical PICC line program. Our team manages a high range of specialty vascular devices and responds to complex, emergent vascular needs across the hospital. If you are a skilled, adaptable RN who thrives in a fast-paced, high-acuity environment and wants to be part of something truly one-of-a-kind, this is your opportunity.

As a Vascular Access Specialist, you will be responsible for:

• Placement and management of ultrasound-guided peripheral IVs
• Insertion and care of dialysis catheters
• Response to and management of emergent vascular access needs
• Placement of a broad range of specialty vascular devices beyond standard PICC lines
• Providing expert vascular access support across all patient populations — NICU, pediatric, adult, and geriatric
• Collaborating within a multidisciplinary team of RNs and RRTs
• Serving as a clinical resource and expert for nursing staff throughout the facility
• Occasional float coverage to Fort Collins in emergent situations as needed

Required:

• Active Colorado RN License (or compact license eligibility)
• Minimum 1 year of bedside nursing experience
• Strong clinical assessment and critical thinking skills
• Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, emergent environment
• Ability to work 2x 12 hour night shifts per week(6:00 PM – 6:30 AM)

Preferred:

• Prior vascular access experience (PICC, ultrasound-guided IV, central line)
• Experience across multiple patient populations (NICU, peds, adult, geriatric)
• VAT (Vascular Access Team) or CRNI / VA-BC certification
• Experience with specialty vascular devices

Our vascular access team is a close-knit group of 13–14 specialists, comprised primarily of Registered Nurses with several Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs). What makes us exceptional:

• Only blended RN/RRT vascular access team in the nation serving NICU through adult populations
• We manage a wide spectrum of specialty devices — far beyond routine outpatient PICC placements
• We serve the full lifespan — from the tiniest NICU patients to complex geriatric cases
• A collaborative, supportive team culture where expertise is shared and celebrated
• Primary base at NCMC Greeley with emergent float to Fort Collins (~85% Greeley-based)

Location: North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC) – Greeley, CO
(Float coverage to Fort Collins in emergent situations – approximately 85% Greeley-based)

If you are ready to be part of a nationally recognized, one-of-a-kind team and bring your vascular access expertise to a role where every shift matters — we want to hear from you.
