Unit Overview: The 6th floor General Medical PCU is a 40-bed General Medical PCU floor with the largest amount of variety, including multi-system complexly ill patients. As a PCU RN, you will care for a wide variety of patients, such as vascular, cardio-thoracic surgical, heart failure, neuro and respiratory. Our patients come from the ICU, as upgrades from floors due to a change in their acuity, and as admits from the ED. Skills needed for this unit include self-driven nurses who can respond quickly to changes in the patient's condition, critical thinking, effective communication, teamwork, positive mindset, and willingness to overcome barriers and challenges by implementing evidence based practice and flexibility. These are also the skills you will learn! This is a newer floor, opened in Spring 2020, and offers all new equipment and supplies. Our model supports learning at all levels.
