Direct observation unit nurses are registered nurses who specialize in providing care to patients who are less critical than ICU patients but still require frequent monitoring and close observation. They ensure patients are responding positively to treatment until they’re stable enough for discharge or can be downgraded to a lower acuity care area. DOU nursing is a rewarding career path for those wanting to make a difference in patients’ lives. DOU nursing is an in-demand specialty with numerous jobs for Direct Observation Unit nurses posted on Vivian at notable facilities around the nation.

Direct observational unit nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS) or Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), among others.
