About The Position

The Intermediate Care (IMU) Unit at Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital serves a diverse and dynamic patient population. Our nurses provide care for patients recovering from post-PCI procedures, those with renal or respiratory conditions, and many other complex medical needs. As the highest-acuity unit outside of the ICU, the IMU plays a vital role in patient transitions—whether patients are stepping down from intensive care or being stabilized before potential ICU admission. This is an excellent opportunity for nurses looking to break into the critical care specialty while caring for high-acuity patients and managing a wide variety of clinical situations. You’ll develop strong assessment and critical thinking skills in a supportive environment committed to professional growth and teamwork.
