FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Decatur, GA
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 Decatur, GA
Just east of Atlanta, Decatur, GA keeps its own walkable identity, organized around a historic downtown square that hosts festivals, restaurants, and one of the region's best-known literary scenes. For travel nurses, the location works as a launch point into the Atlanta market's hospital network, with contracts reaching downtown, Sandy Springs, and Brookhaven. The MARTA line through Decatur is the practical advantage; rail access spares travelers the metro's notorious traffic for many commutes — a rarity in this region. Intensive care and emergency assignments dominate the area's demand. The rents in Decatur proper run higher than the suburbs farther out, the price of walkability, though many RNs find the square's evening scene worth the difference.
