RN Progressive Care

UNIT SUMMARY

This Progressive Care Unit (PCU) is a 67‑bed, high‑acuity unit that practices patient‑ and family‑centered care while supporting a diverse adult patient population requiring an elevated level of monitoring and nursing expertise. Our team of highly motivated Registered Nurses, Nursing Assistants, and Telemetry Technicians works collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment that values teamwork, support, and clinical excellence.

Nurses on this unit care for a wide range of complex patient populations, allowing them to strengthen advanced assessment and critical‑thinking skills while gaining exposure across multiple specialties. Patient populations and clinical experiences include:

• Adult Medicine, Surgical, Cardiac, Neurology, and GI patients

• Patients requiring cardiac drips with titration, insulin drips with Q1 glucose monitoring, and CIWA management

• Patients with ICDs, permanent pacemakers (PPMs), and Life Vests

• Ventilator patients, including those with tracheostomies

• Hemodynamically stable BiPAP patients (new or continuous)

• Neurologic patients requiring NIHSS stroke scale assessments and Q2 neuro checks

• Post–pericardial window patients, chest tubes, and PleurX catheters

• CAPD patients with cardiac conditions requiring PCU‑level care

• Pregnant patients requiring Progressive Care Unit‑level monitoring

This broad scope of practice creates an ideal environment for nurses seeking challenging, meaningful work, strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and ongoing professional growth within a supportive PCU setting.
