About this job

Job Description & Requirements
Progressive Care Nurse - (PCU RN)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 12 D Pay Rate: $26.00 - 28.00

This unit is looking for a Stepdown RN to join a team of highly skilled individuals where you will have an opportunity to collaborate with other professional disciplines to ensure effective and efficient patient care delivery and the achievement of desired patient outcomes. Here we take pride in providing a comfortable healing environment and welcome professional caregivers.

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
TX/compact lic or lic in process
2 years PCU experience
