Responsibilities

Accepting New Grads and experienced Registered Nurses!

The Registered Nurse demonstrates knowledge of care in both stable and acute settings. Adheres to organizational policy and adapts to fast-paced environments while actively participating in and encouraging teamwork.

PCCU nurses are trained to administer and monitor patients on cardiac medications, titratable vasoactive infusions as well as monitor and interpret EKG rhythms. They will care for patients with arterial and venous access sheaths as well as invasive drains; while observing the cardiovascular system, neurovascular and pulmonary status, they are able to communicate with physicians about orders and procedures, perform conscious sedation under physician direction and pre-procedure prep. The Registered Nurse will assist not only with the patient, but also incorporate family focused care by teaching necessary pre- and post-hospital care.

The Registered Nurse operates out of "nursing pods" this allows them to have no more than four patients at a time which maintains a 4:1 patient-to-nurse ratio. OHH nursing pods allow the Registered Nurse to have close access to everything they need and have more time at the patient's bedside ensuring the highest quality care.
