Registered Nurse - Progressive Care Unit / PCU
About The Position
Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is seeking a Registered Nurse for its Progressive Care Unit (PCU). This is a Variable Full-Time position involving three 12-hour shifts with rotating weekends, working from 7 am to 7 pm. The PCU is a 48-bed unit that provides specialized care for patients who require more monitoring than a standard floor but are too stable for the intensive care unit. 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 by offering telemetry, continuous monitoring, and specialized nursing for improving patients who are still at risk for complications, ensuring seamless care transitions and patient safety.
