We're looking for Progressive Care Unit RNs for an immediate travel nurse opening in Clyde, NC. The right RN should have 1-2 years recent acute care experience. Read below for more requirements.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you will care for patients who require close monitoring and frequent assessment, but aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. Progressive Care Unit RNs will utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information, detecting any changes and thereby enabling intervention of life-threatening or emergency situations.

- Initiate corrective action whenever information from monitoring equipment shows adverse symptomatology.
