You’ll work closely with physicians, respiratory therapists, and fellow nurses to deliver targeted, evidence-based care with a focus on patient safety and progression toward discharge.
Success in this role requires strong clinical judgment, excellent time management, and the ability to prioritize care for multiple patients with evolving needs. You will also play a key role in educating patients and families about recovery plans, medications, and follow-up care.
If you are passionate about providing high-acuity care in a supportive, team-oriented setting, we invite you to grow with us in the PCU.
