Shift: Night Shift, 7:00 PM-7:00 AM
Weekend Requirement: Every third weekend

Education: BSN required
Licensure: Active Pennsylvania RN license or Compact RN license
Certifications: BLS/CPR and ACLS required

Unit Overview
The Progressive Care Unit is an 18-bed, high-acuity, fast-paced unit caring for patients who require a higher level of monitoring and intervention than a traditional telemetry unit but do not require ICU-level care. The typical nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:3, based on patient acuity.
Patient turnover can be significant, with as much as three-quarters of the unit turning over within a 24-hour period. Candidates should therefore be comfortable working in a busy environment with frequent admissions, transfers, and patient downgrades.
Patient Population & Clinical Experience
The PCU cares for a diverse, medically complex patient population. Nurses may care for patients including:
• Post cardiac catheterization
• Post myocardial infarction (MI)
• Post cardiac stent placement
• Post cardiac ablation
• TAVR patients
• Watchman procedure patients
• Stable post-open-heart patients after line removal
• Patients requiring transvenous pacemakers
• Respiratory failure patients
• Patients requiring BiPAP
• Patients receiving insulin drips
• Kidney and other organ failure patients
• Patients experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is an experienced PCU RN who is comfortable managing high-acuity patients in a fast-moving environment. The nurse should be able to efficiently manage a 1:3 assignment while adapting to frequent admissions, transfers, and changes in patient status.
Scheduling Requirements
• 12-hour night shifts: 7:00 PM-7:00 AM
• Every third weekend
• Holiday coverage will be based on unit staffing needs. At least one will be required.
• Extended vacation during the hospital's holiday blackout period, 12/23-1/3, cannot be accommodated, although an individual holiday off may be considered.
Minimum Qualifications
• Minimum 2 years of nursing experience
• BSN
• Active Pennsylvania RN license or Compact RN license
• BLS/CPR
• ACLS
• Ability to work effectively in a high-acuity, high-turnover PCU environment
