Progressive Care Unit Nursing Insights

Показать описание

Progressive Care nursing is nursing of patients who don’t meet ICU criteria but need a higher level of care than a medical-surgical unit can provide. This type of nursing can be found in step down units, telemetry floors, and even the emergency department. Linda Bay provides great insight because of her unique experience starting as a staff nurse to a clinical nurse specialist.

Thank you for the video it's so well explained and encouraging. I agree that the population is getting older and sicker eventually more progressive care units will be needed . Progressive care is a very dynamic, rich, and exciting environment because the nurses will assess and monitor closer and frequently the team will also monitor closer and detect any changes in vital signs or telemetry communicating on walkie-talkie to the nurses, the whole team gets involved getting notifications about patients every one becomes alert and quickly respond and because of the level of acuity most hospitals are very well equipped with everything patients need to improve their health. It's above all a very advanced modern learning experience for everyone involved in the unit. It's a team work everyone getting continuously educated with courses to work better and better and getting those many certifications is awesome, it's empowering. The joy of the progressive care is when patients are admitted very sick, very discouraged and they get the best treatment by the team and recover and regain control of their health enough to be discharged.

It's the "patients will be sicker, and stay less" part that really gets me. The rate of of readmissions I've seen b/c the hospital wants to push the pt out as quickly as possible, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, or completely ignore non-chief complaints that may point to a bigger issue is frustrating!

I love this. I work in PCU and videos like these are helpful to remembering what we do and why we are there.

This is the floor where Im starting as an LVN and working as an RN when I graduate before I move to the ICU. I want to hone in on my skills and time management before I move on to care for the sickest patients.
