About this job

Job Description & Requirements
Progressive Care Nurse - (PCU RN)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 12 N Pay Rate: $30.00 *

This prestigious acute care facility is seeking a passionate and energetic RN to join their team on the Step Down unit. As part of this telemetry unit, you will ensure that a patient recovering from heart surgery receives quality and timely care. Consistent monitoring of each of your patients for level of pain as well as providing pain management care can be expected. This environment is innovative, creative and patient centric, providing an opportunity to work on complex cases within a top notch facility and with a dedicated team of driven and passionate nurses.

A progressive care nurse (PCU RN) works in a progressive care unit (PCU) and cares for patients requiring close monitoring and frequent assessment, but who aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. PCU RNs use computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information and detect any changes, thereby enabling intervention of life-threatening or emergency situations. Close observation is necessary as many PCU patients receive a significant amount of complex meds, sometimes through an intravenous line that may need to be adjusted or titrated. The PCU RN is sometimes also called a step-down nurse or telemetry nurse, and the PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown, neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown, and ER holding.

Required Qualifications
NE license or compact
2yrs PCU Tele with Medical and Cardiac stepdown
