Our unit handles a mix of PCU and ICU patients. PCU and general medicine/transfer status can be in a 4:1 group based on acuity. PCU can also be in a 4:3:1 based on acuity. ICU and PCU can mix with a ratio of 3:1 based on acuity. Ventilator patients are in a 2:1 ratio. Cooling, CRRT, or high acuity will be in a 1:1 group. Weekend requirements include working every other weekend. Staff may float to other ICUs and medical-surgical units as needed due to census flexing. Agency RNs will float in rotation with the unit's RNs to medical-surgical units. Typical nurse-to-patient ratios in medical-surgical areas are approximately 1:5 to 1:7. Patient diagnoses include COPD, encephalopathy, drug overdose, DKA, AKI, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Special procedures performed include CRRT, hemodialysis, A-line placement, CVC placement, tracheostomy placement, and chest tube placement. Special equipment used includes cooling machines, Bair Huggers, massive transfusion devices, and CRRT. Required skills include cardiac monitoring and emergency response. Interpretation and management of dysrhythmias and multi-system organ failure are essential. Nurses will manage endocrine and metabolic protocols, including IV insulin.

Nurses will interpret arterial blood gases and suction for both endotracheal tubes and nasotracheal tubes. Ventilator management will be a daily task, with an average of 3 ventilated patients. The unit's ICU physician will maintain a patient's ICU status if deemed necessary regardless of acuity. Stable patients may still be grouped with a ratio of 3 or 4. Daily census averages around 15 patients. The unit has a total of 20 beds. Staffing includes interdisciplinary support from physical therapy, respiratory services, phlebotomy, and pharmacy.
