Future plans, possibly Summer 2021, is that the 2nd floor (located on the same floor as the ICU) will become a Stepdown unit with higher acuity patients, including the addition of ativan & insulin drips, as well as titrating drips (currently only do set-rate drips). The 6th floor would remain Tele acuity. “Certs”BLS & ACLS are the only required certificationsOk with 1st time travelers”Ratios1:5 for both Day & Night shiftEMREPICCharge Nurse/House SupervisorThis can vary day-by-day. Sometimes they have a “floating” Charge Nurse who goes between 2nd & 6th floor. Otherwise they have a Charge Nurse on each floor but they do take a full patient assignmentNurse AidesWhen they are fully staffed they like to have 3 PCTon each floor; however, there are times when they might only have 1 PCT per floorWeekend RequirementEvery-other-weekend. Nights is Fri/Sat; Days Sat/SunHolidaysThe Director tries not to schedule travelers on holidays if possible; however, this will be based off the needs of the unit.
