Team Impact

This position offers a versatile environment where experienced ICU nurses can lead high-acuity care, while newer nurses gain a unique pathway to build foundational critical care skills and transition into the ICU. You will collaborate across two distinct care environments:

The Progressive Care Unit (PCU) provides an intermediate level of care for patients who need more monitoring than a standard hospital floor, but not the intensive level of an ICU. Nurses typically manage a lower patient ratio compared to standard floors that allow which allows for more acute care.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is staffed and equipped to provide highly skilled interdisciplinary services to patients requiring complex and intensive nursing care interventions for life-threatening conditions.

With patients in a 2:1 ratio with nurses, this allows close monitoring for a more effective care plan.
