About This Role
This is a full-time staff nursing position in a Progressive Care Unit (PCU) setting where you'll deliver direct patient care across 12-hour shifts. Working 36 hours per week, you'll manage patient assessments, administer treatments, and coordinate care with doctors, therapists, and other medical professionals. PCU roles sit between standard med-surg floors and intensive care, so you'll work with patients who need closer monitoring and more complex care than a regular unit but aren't at ICU level. This position suits RNs who want stable, ongoing work without travel requirements and who thrive in a collaborative hospital environment. You'll need strong clinical skills, excellent communication abilities, and the stamina for physical 12-hour shifts. No specific pay details are listed, so compensation should be discussed directly with the hiring team.
