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 in
PCU delivers critical care to patients recovering from surgery,
medical procedures, or acute conditions, monitoring their progress
and responding to changes in health status. The RN will work
collaboratively with the healthcare team to ensure the best
possible outcomes for patients in the PCU setting. Key
Responsibilities: Patient Assessment: Conduct comprehensive
assessments of patients with moderate to high acuity, monitoring
their physical and emotional needs. Continuously evaluate vital
signs, lab results, and cardiac rhythms for any changes that may
indicate a need for intervention. Identify potential risks and
complications, such as arrhythmias, respiratory distress, or
post-operative issues, and act accordingly. Patient Care and
Monitoring: Administer prescribed medications and treatments,
including IV medications, pain management, and blood products.
Monitor patients with telemetry, arterial lines, and other
continuous monitoring devices, adjusting care as necessary. Provide
post-surgical care for patients who have undergone major surgery,
including cardiovascular, neurological, or orthopedic procedures.
Manage patients with complex conditions, such as heart failure,
respiratory distress, and diabetes. Collaboration: Work closely
with physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare
professionals to develop and implement individualized care plans.
Participate in daily rounds and communicate with the team regarding
patient condition, response to treatments, and any changes in care
plans. Patient Education: Educate patients and families about the
recovery process, treatment plans, medications, and any required
lifestyle changes. Provide guidance on managing chronic conditions,
improving health, and preventing readmissions. Documentation:
Accurately document all nursing interventions, patient assessments,
outcomes, and any changes in condition using electronic health
records (EHR). Ensure compliance with all legal, regulatory, and
hospital-specific documentation requirements. Safety & Infection
Control: Follow infection control protocols and use appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of
hospital-acquired infections. Respond to changes in patient
condition quickly and appropriately, including initiating emergency
procedures if needed. Emergency Response: Recognize and respond
promptly to emergencies, including code blue situations or
significant changes in patient vital signs. Perform advanced life
support (ALS) or other emergency interventions as required.
Teamwork and Support: Collaborate with PCU colleagues, support
staff, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure safe and efficient
patient care. Serve as a resource to less experienced nursing staff
and participate in mentoring or training initiatives. Quality and
Compliance: Follow all hospital protocols and national standards to
maintain high-quality care, safety, and patient satisfaction.
Participate in quality improvement activities and patient safety
initiatives to enhance patient outcomes. 5 Benefits of Travel
