About the Role

The facility is seeking an experienced RN for its Progressive Care Unit (PCU). You'll care for moderate-acuity patients transitioning from ICU or at risk of clinical deterioration—patients who require closer monitoring than medical-surgical floors but don't require full ICU-level care.

Key Responsibilities

• Continuously monitor cardiac rhythms and vital signs; identify and respond to changes in condition
• Manage a moderate patient load (typically 3–4 patients per shift)
• Administer medications, including select IV drips, per physician orders
• Assess and manage patients post-ICU or at risk of decompensation
• Collaborate with physicians, intensivists, and the care team on patient plans
• Respond to rapid response and code interventions as needed
• Educate patients and families on condition, treatment, and recovery
• Document assessments, interventions, and responses accurately
• Maintain infection control and fall prevention protocols

Requirements

• Active RN license (state or compact)
• BLS, ACLS, and NIHSS certifications required
• 1+ years of PCU/step-down nursing experience
• Proficiency in telemetry monitoring and cardiac/medical-surgical patient care
• BSN preferred; ADN accepted per facility policy
• PCCN certification preferred

Schedule

• Every other weekend and holidays per unit rotation
• Float to medical-surgical or other PCU units as needed
