Job Description:
We're looking for Progressive Care Unit RNs for an immediate
travel nurse opening in Madison, WI. The right RN should have 1-2
years recent acute care experience. Read below for more
requirements.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you will care for patients who require close
monitoring and frequent assessment, but aren't unstable enough to
need ICU care. Progressive Care Unit RNs will utilize computer
equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information, detecting
any changes and thereby enabling intervention of life-threatening
or emergency situations. Close observation is necessary as many PCU
patients receive a significant amount of complex medications,
sometimes through an intravenous line that may need to be adjusted
or titrated. The PCU RN is sometimes also called a step-down nurse,
and the PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown,
neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown and ER holding.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you should be prepared to perform the
following tasks:
PCU Travel Nurses should be able to stand and walk for long periods
of time, as well as bend, lean and stoop without difficulty. RNs
should be able to easily lift 20 pounds. Moving or lifting of
patients may require lifting of up to 50 pounds at times. Because
of the fast-paced environment, Progressive Care Unit RNs must
possess good skills for coping with stress and be able to relate to
people of all ages and backgrounds.
Certs required: BLS, ACLS. Experience required: 2 years. IMC
experience required. Cardiology experience preferred. Academic
Level 1 Trauma center experience required. Prior travel required.
Must have Basic Arrhythmia experience. Must float as needed. Active
WI or compact license at submission.
