About The Position

Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is seeking a Charge Registered Nurse for its Progressive Care Unit (PCU). This is a Variable Full-Time position with three 12-hour shifts per week, including rotating weekends, on the night shift (7pm - 7am). The PCU is a 48-bed unit that provides specialized care for patients who are too stable for the intensive care unit but require more monitoring and medical attention than a standard floor. Patients treated include post-surgical patients, respiratory patients (COPD, Pneumonia, non-invasive ventilation), sepsis/infections, and chronic illness exacerbations (diabetes, kidney failure). The PCU bridges the gap between ICU and standard care units by providing telemetry, continuous monitoring, and specialized nursing for patients who are improving but still at risk for complications, ensuring seamless care transitions and patient safety. Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is recognized as a “Best Regional Hospital” by U.S. News & World Report and a “Best Place to Work in Healthcare” by Modern Healthcare. The hospital is a full-service medical/surgical facility with 285 beds, offering expertise and advanced technology in diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular care, orthopedic care, surgical services, and emergency medicine. In 2025, the hospital opened an onsite Team Member Wellness Center featuring a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a tranquility space, and wellness activities. Orlando Health is committed to being a top employer, as recognized by Forbes as a Best-In-State Employer for 2024.
