Job Summary:

A 25-bed Critical Access Hospital located in the scenic White Mountains, is seeking a high-performing Progressive Care Unit (PCU) Nurse. In this community-focused setting, you will provide intensive monitoring for patients who require a higher level of care than general med-surg but are not yet ready for the ICU.

• Respiratory Care: Manage patients on non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP/CPAP) and high-flow oxygen therapy.
• Critical Access Versatility: As a nurse in a smaller facility, you must be prepared to stabilize patients for transport to larger trauma centers if their acuity exceeds the hospital's resources.
• Documentation: Utilize the Meditech EMR system for all clinical charting, medication administration, and care planning.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 2 years of dedicated experience in PCU, IMCU, or Stepdown units is required.
• Travel Experience: Previous travel experience is highly preferred.

• Certifications:
  • BLS (American Heart Association) – Required.
