RN Nurse Resident - Progressive Care Unit / PCU (Nights)
About The Position
Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is seeking an RN Nurse Resident to join their Progressive Care Unit (PCU) for night shifts. This is a Variable Full-Time position involving three 12-hour shifts with rotating weekends. The PCU provides specialized care for patients who require more monitoring and medical attention than a standard floor but are too stable for the ICU. Patients treated include post-surgical patients, respiratory patients (COPD, Pneumonia, non-invasive ventilation), sepsis/infections, and chronic illness exacerbations (diabetes, kidney failure). The unit bridges the gap between ICU and standard care by offering telemetry, continuous monitoring, and specialized nursing for improving patients at risk for complications, ensuring a seamless transition in care 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. It is an award-winning, full-service medical/surgical facility serving southwest Orange County since 1985. The 285-bed facility boasts a highly qualified team, advanced technology, and expertise in diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular care, orthopedic care, surgical services, and emergency medicine. In 2025, the hospital opened an onsite Team Member Wellness Center with a fitness facility, tranquility space, and wellness activities to support employee health and well-being.
