ICU Stepdown Registered Nurse (RN)

Overview

Join a collaborative ICU Stepdown (Intermediate Care) team providing advanced care for patients requiring close monitoring, frequent assessments, and complex therapies. This 15-bed unit serves as a true stepdown from critical care, offering a 3:1 nurse-to-patient ratio (occasionally 4:1). You’ll care for patients on drips, long-term ventilators, and other advanced therapies—bridging the gap between ICU and Med-Surg while working alongside an expert interdisciplinary team.

Responsibilities

• Perform frequent patient assessments and monitor for acute status changes.

• Manage cardiac drips, ventilators, and other stepdown-level interventions.

• Utilize clinical judgment to assess, plan, and implement individualized care plans.

• Collaborate with physicians and care teams to achieve optimal outcomes.

• Educate patients and families regarding conditions, treatments, and discharge planning.

• Maintain safe, high-quality, and evidence-based nursing care in all activities.
