Progressive Care Unit (PCU) Travel Nursing Jobs and Salary
Progressive care nursing jobs involve the care of patients who require close monitoring and frequent assessment, but who aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. Many PCU patients receive complex medications that may require titration based on the vital signs. The PCU nurse 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.
When a patients’ needs do not require the intensive care unit, but also need more care than the regular hospital floor, the patient is held and monitored in the PCU unit. PCU nurse applicants with ICU training (with the exception of certifications in invasive technologies) tend to be preferred in the selection process.
