Ive been on PCU for 20 years because I love having personal contact with my patients. When I walk into a patients room, the first thing they do is look at me; Im confident, and the patient says, This is the nurse Im looking for! I say, My name is Tien and im here to help you! They say, I can see the potential that youre going to get me better and I respond with, You got it!

Tien, Progressive Care Unit RN and Clinical Nurse Coordinator at HCA Healthcare

As a Progressive Care Unit nurse, youll be able to witness a patients positive and steady progression, enjoy interaction with patients, while still delivering true critical care. You be trained to handle advanced medical equipment, but your patients will not necessarily require the life-sustaining equipment and support to the extent of intensive care units. Nurse-to-patient ratios on PCU are slightly higher than on intensive care units, and the same - and oftentimes lower - than emergency department ratios. Youll have autonomy to make medical decisions rapidly under standard protocols, similar to the ICU. The PCU is considered critical care, so youll enjoy similar growth opportunities as ICU RNs, including specialized ICUs, Cardiac Cath Lab, PACU, Case Management and more.

• Coordinate and deliver high quality, patient-centered care in accordance with the nature and specific requirements of the PCU department
• In collaboration with medical providers and other members of the care team, you will provide individualized, comprehensive, and compassionate care using established nursing models such as Assess, Perform, Teach, and Manage.
• You will serve as an advocate for patients, families and caregivers and share in our organizational commitment to support an unparalleled patient experience and clinical outcomes

What qualifications you will need:

• Advanced Cardiac Life Spt must be obtained within 30 days of employment start date
• Basic Cardiac Life Support must be obtained within 30 days of employment start date
• (RN) Registered Nurse must be obtained within 90 days of employment start date
• Associate Degree, or Bachelors Degree
