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.
