Our Critical Care specialty includes an ICU and PCU, both of which are notable for their team-oriented culture and commitment to patient safety. Nurses on these units are empowered to make patient care decisions, engage in the Nurse Practice Council and self schedule for optimal coverage.
Intensive Care Unit
This is a 16-bed multisystem ICU featuring hard-wired center and side local nursing stations, all private rooms and one VIP suite. Two intensivists are on the unit to help support our complex cardiac/pulmonary, neuro and multisystem caseload, where the nurse to patient ratio is 2:1.
The ICU has an educator on the unit to provide mentoring and career development. Nurses also participate in multidisciplinary rounds, where care plans are discussed as learning opportunities. The unit does require alternating on-call weekends and floating to similar areas as needed. Nurses who succeed here are multisystem trained with heavy cardiac and neuro experience. CCRN preferred.
Progressive Care Unit
Our 24-bed PCU has received the highest patient satisfaction scores of all inpatient units, while also boasting above-average to excellent scores in nurse satisfaction as related to job enjoyment. There is both incredible skill and cultural diversity on the unit, where the nurse to patient ratio is 1:4 or 1:5. The PCU team also includes an assistant nurse manager, a charge nurse, two patient care techs, a health unit coordinator and 24/7 monitor tech. Multidisciplinary rounds are scheduled three times per week, while patient care techs conduct hourly rounds to ensure patient safety.
