New Grad RN Critical Care Position Summary The Critical Care division encompasses ICU and ICU Stepdown (PCU or IMC). The IMC and PCU RN are responsible for managing high acuity patients who are often too critical for a medical/surgical floor but may not require an ICU level of care. The Critical Care team is skilled in caring for populations such as sepsis, diabetic ketoacidosis, post open-heart procedures, continuous cardiac infusions, and those requiring acute continuous non-invasive ventilation (i.e. BiPAP/CPAP), and invasive ventilation in the ICU setting only. These patients require continuous cardiac and respiratory monitoring and the RN will be prepared to intervene quickly to any changes in hemodynamics or respiratory demands. The RN is responsible for developing, implementing, and evaluating an individualized plan of care for their patients while serving as an advocate and educator to patients and their families. The Intermediate Care unit (IMC) is a fast-paced, teamwork driven environment providing high acuity care to critically ill patients.
