About VitalJobs.ICU

The premier job board for ICU professionals, built by someone who understands your career journey

Our Story

Nick Thrash, Founder of VitalJobs.ICU

Nicholas Thrash, ACNPC-AG

Founder · Houston, Texas

VitalJobs.ICU was founded by an ICU Nurse Practitioner who experienced firsthand the frustration of searching for critical care positions on generic job boards. After spending countless hours sifting through irrelevant listings and duplicate postings, the vision for a specialized job board built around the ICU was born.

I built this platform from the ground up to meet the expectations of ICU professionals.

The ICU is our home, but critical care doesn't stop at the unit doors. The same advanced skills that make someone exceptional in the ICU are in demand across acute care settings. That's why alongside our core ICU listings, you'll also find opportunities for CRNAs, OR and ER positions, and other roles where critical care expertise is valued. We go where our community goes.

Whether you're an experienced NP looking for leadership opportunities, a PA seeking autonomy, or a CRNA wanting a collaborative environment, we know what matters to you.

Our mission is simple: connect exceptional critical care professionals with exceptional opportunities. No noise, no clutter, just relevant, high-quality job listings that respect your time and expertise.

Our Values

What drives us to serve the ICU community

Specialized Focus

The ICU is our foundation. Every feature and decision is made with critical care professionals in mind—and we extend that focus to CRNA, OR, ER, and other acute care roles where your expertise translates.

Quality Over Quantity

Every job posting is reviewed and verified by our team. We reject spam, duplicates, and irrelevant listings so you don't have to.

Community First

We're here to serve ICU professionals first. Your success, career growth, and job satisfaction are what motivate us every day.

What Makes Us Different

1

Critical Care Filters

Search by ICU type (Medical, Surgical, Cardiac, Neuro, CVICU), browse CRNA and OR/ER opportunities, filter by shift preferences, and find roles that match your certifications.

2

Transparent Information

We encourage employers to include salary ranges, shift details, patient ratios, and call requirements upfront—no more surprises. Listing out salaries should be the norm, not the exception.

3

Verified Employers Only

Every employer posting on our platform is verified. We screen out spam, scams, and low-quality recruiters. And if a job doesn't meet our standards, we won't post it.

4

Career Resources

Beyond job listings, we provide interview tips and career advice specifically for critical care professionals. We're building a community for critical care professionals, by critical care professionals.
