Registered Nurse RN General PCU

Registered Nurse Progressive Care Telemetry Unit

Banner Thunderbird Medical Center is seeking a Registered Nurse for their Progressive Care Telemetry Unit. This is our 6th Floor, General Medical PCU that focuses on total care patients. Telemetry experience is preferred, however, we will consider candidates from all areas of nursing and are willing to train the right nurse who loves learning, and is ready to take their skills to the next level. We are currently seeking experienced PCU Nurses but at this time we are accepting applications from those who have Telemetry, ICU, Home Health, Skilled Nursing, Medical/Surgical, or any other acute or critical care background.

As a PCU Registered Nurse, you will care for a wide variety of patients. The 6th floor 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. Ratios flex between 1:4-5, however most of the times ratios are 1:5.
