-Overview:The PCU is a unit that provides care to patients age 18
and older requiring a higher level of care and surveillance than a
general med/surg floor but not presenting the need for critical
care in an intensive care unit. -The PCU patient population at any
given time is a cross sample of the hospital census as a whole,
just to a slightly more acute degree. For this reason, a broad
scope is needed for those wishing to work in PCU as they care for
all systems from neuro to cardiac to GI and beyond. Patients in the
progressive care unit require nursing assessment and reassessment
every 2 to 4 hours. Clinically, they may present with a variety of
medical needs including but not limited to: New onset asymptomatic
dysrhythmia responding to treatment; hypertensive or hypotensive
urgency; hemodynamically stable myocardial infarction; stable
neurological deficits; confusion/agitation/substance withdrawal;
respiratory distress or evidence of compromised gas exchange when
hemodynamically stable and responding to treatment;
maintenance/initiation of BIPAP/CPAP or high flow oxygen therapy in
which further deterioration is unlikely after initiation. Unit
specific certifications required include ACLS, basic dysrhythmia
interpretation, NIHSS and ASLS, these classes are offered through
Mercy and should be completed upon 90 days from hire.
