The Registered Nurse (RN) in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) provides intermediate care for patients who require a higher level of monitoring and treatment than in a general medical-surgical unit but do not require the intensive care provided in an ICU.

The RN will work collaboratively with the healthcare team to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients in the PCU setting.

Educate patients and families about the recovery process, treatment plans, medications, and any required lifestyle changes.

Accurately document all nursing interventions, patient assessments, outcomes, and any changes in condition using electronic health records (EHR).

Follow infection control protocols and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infections.

Recognize and respond promptly to emergencies, including code blue situations or significant changes in patient vital signs.

Collaborate with PCU colleagues, support staff, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure safe and efficient patient care.
