FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near San Diego, CA
What certifications do travel PCU jobs require?
Most travel PCU jobs require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). Units that care for stroke patients often ask for NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as well. A Progressive Care Certified Nurse (PCCN) credential isn't usually required, but many facilities view it as a plus.
What do facilities require for travel PCU nurses?
Facilities typically want recent progressive care, step-down, or intermediate-care experience with continuous cardiac monitoring, higher-acuity patients, and infusions such as diltiazem, amiodarone, insulin, or heparin. Depending on the unit, post-cath, cardiac, respiratory, or postoperative experience may also matter.
Is PCU the same as step-down or intermediate care?
Often, but not always. PCU, step-down, IMC, and transitional-care labels can describe similar units, but acuity, patient mix, allowed drips, and respiratory support vary by hospital. Compare the actual responsibilities with your experience rather than relying on the unit name alone.

Explore San Diego, CA
A major coastal metro in the far southwest corner of California, San Diego, CA offers travel nurses a vast hospital market to work in. Assignments span emergency, medical-surgical, and specialty work across a wide range of facilities. Chula Vista is about fifteen minutes south on I-5, with La Jolla northwest along the coast and Escondido north up I-15. The metro is its own large market, with Los Angeles a couple of hours north as the only bigger one. Local housing runs high across the region, so many travelers lean on the trolley and the freeways to get around, and San Diego International sits a few minutes from downtown for the flight out. Balboa Park and the bayfront Embarcadero give green and water in the heart of the city.
