Job Description
Put another $10,000 in your pocket when you take 5 assignments. Up to 15 weeks of vacation. For real.Apply for more details
We're looking for Progressive Care Unit RNs for an immediate travel nurse opening in Johnstown, PA. The right RN should have 1-2 years recent acute care experience. Read below for more requirements.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you will care for patients who require close monitoring and frequent assessment, but aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. Progressive Care Unit RNs will utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information, detecting any changes and thereby enabling intervention of life-threatening or emergency situations. Close observation is necessary as many PCU patients receive a significant amount of complex medications, sometimes through an intravenous line that may need to be adjusted or titrated. The PCU RN is sometimes also called a step-down nurse, and the PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown, neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown and ER holding.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you should be prepared to perform the following tasks:
Requirements*: ACLS, BLS, 1.5 Years
* Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment.
