Unit Details: The float pool supports ICU, PCU/CCU, medical-surgical, inpatient rehabilitation, ED Holding, and COVID overflow. ED Holding will be the primary unit, with mixed diagnoses, isolation patients, non-ambulatory patients, and a fast-paced environment. ICU case mix includes respiratory failure, GI bleeds, DKA, sepsis, complicated postoperative patients, CVAs, flap surgeries, post-arrest patients, ETOH, and IVDA. PCU/CCU case mix includes respiratory compromise, sepsis, renal failure, bleeding disorders, general medical/surgical patients, CHF, COPD, pneumonia, and orthopedic cases. Medical-surgical assignments include oncology and neutropenic patients, postoperative and psychiatric patients, general medical-surgical patients with COPD, CHF, sepsis, DVT, AKI, dialysis, or COVID, as well as total-joint, post-surgical, general medical overflow, and palliative-care patients with pneumonia, PE, or occasional surgical cases. Rehabilitation case mix includes stroke, spinal cord injury, TBI, multi-trauma, post-COVID, and post-ICU patients. Vents and tracheostomies are present, and the unit has medical-surgical-level acuity. Higher-level ICU therapies include Rotoprone, manual proning, hypothermia protocol, CRRT, TPA, and flap surgeries; patients requiring these therapies will not be taken. The ICU also does not take craniotomies, major traumas, or major cardiothoracic cases. ED Holding ratios are 1:2 for ICU patients, 1:4 for PCU patients, and 1:5 for MS patients; ICU and PCU nurses receive a 1:5 assignment when working MS.
