Patient Population & Clinical Scope

• High-acuity intermediate care patients requiring supplemental O2, BiPAP, tracheostomy care, and mechanical ventilation
• Lower-acuity intermediate care patients in the overflow area, who are transitioned to medical-surgical units as inpatient beds become available
• All patients may be on heparin, insulin, or cardiac drips

Shift Details

• Nights: 7:00 PM – 7:00 AM, three 12-hour shifts per week
• 36 guaranteed hours per week

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of nursing experience in an intermediate care or step-down setting
• Active RN license
• Current BLS and ACLS certifications

This is a long-term engagement ideal for an experienced PCU nurse comfortable managing a mixed-acuity patient population and transitional care workflows in a fast-paced environment.
