Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Registered Nurse, Progressive Care Unit, PCU, Inpatient Progressive Care Unit Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips is recognized as a "Best Regional Hospital" by U.S. News & World Report and selected as one of the "Best Places to Work in Healthcare" by Modern Healthcare. With a highly qualified team of nurses, support staff, and physician specialists, our 285-bed facility provides combined expertise and advanced technology in numerous areas of specialty. ABOUT THE PCU UNIT:The Progressive Care Unit at Dr. Phillips Hospital is a 48-bed unit. This unit provides specialized care for patients who are too stable for the intensive care unit but require more monitoring and medical attention than can be provided in a PCU floor. Types of patients treated in this unit are post-surgical patients, respiratory patients (COPD, Pneumonia, non-invasive ventilation), sepsis/infections, chronic illness exacerbations (diabetes, kidney failure) and more. PCUs bridge the gap between ICU and standard care units by providing telemetry, continuous monitoring, and specialized nursing for patients who are improving but still at risk for complications. This allows for a seamless transition in care while ensuring patient safety and recovery.
