Nurse Resident, Neuro PCU

Neuro Progressive Care Unit Nurse

The Neuro Progressive Care Unit (PCU) is a 32-bed unit within a Level I Trauma hospital that specializes in the care of patients with complex neurological conditions. The unit treats patients with diagnoses including stroke, seizure disorders, traumatic brain injury, and tumors of the brain and spine. Neuro PCU is also home to the Stroke Nursing Team, which responds to Stroke Alerts at Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center as well as designated peripheral sites. This unit is an excellent fit for nurses who enjoy motivating patients through recovery while helping them understand and adapt to their limitations. It also provides a strong foundation for those seeking to advance to higher acuity settings such as the Neuro ICU. The nurse administers patient care in a hospital inpatient or observation setting where acute care patients receive active treatment for injury, acute illness, medical conditions, or post-intervention recovery. Candidates must hold an active RN license.
