Louisville, Kentucky, United States Travel Nurse Across America Full time
Job Overview

We are seeking experienced Progressive Care Unit Registered Nurses for an immediate travel nurse opening in Louisville, KY. This exciting opportunity offers a chance to work with a dynamic team and provide top-notch patient care in a fast-paced environment.

About the Role

As a PCU Travel Nurse, you will be responsible for caring for patients who require close monitoring and frequent assessment but aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. You will utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information, detecting any changes and enabling intervention of life-threatening or emergency situations.

This role requires close observation as many PCU patients receive complex medications through intravenous lines that may need adjustment or titration. The PCU RN is sometimes referred to as a step-down nurse, and the PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown, neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown, and ER holding.

Responsibilities
  • Provide basic bedside care, stabilizing critical cardiac patients.
  • Change dressings, insert catheters, and start IVs.
  • Prepare, administer, and record prescribed medication, reporting any adverse reactions.
  • Monitor and adjust specialized equipment used on patients and interpret electronic displays.
  • Initiate corrective action when monitoring equipment shows adverse symptomatology.
Requirements

To succeed in this role, you should be able to stand and walk for long periods, bend, lean, and stoop without difficulty. You should also be able to easily lift 20 pounds, and moving or lifting of patients may require lifting up to 50 pounds at times. Given the fast-paced environment, Progressive Care Unit RNs must possess good stress coping skills and be able to relate to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Salary and Benefits

The estimated salary for this position is $120,000 - $180,000 per year, depending on experience. In addition to competitive pay, we offer a range of benefits including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off.

What We Offer

At Travel Nurse Across America, we pride ourselves on providing our nurses with the support and resources they need to succeed. We offer flexible scheduling, professional development opportunities, and a positive work environment.
