FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near St. Louis, MO
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 St. Louis, MO
Several hospital corridors stretch across St. Louis, MO, a long-established clinical market on the Missouri side of the river. Meeting that regional demand calls for travelers to staff surgical suites and labor-and-delivery units regularly. Much of the patient flow runs through Barnes-Jewish Hospital and SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. Clayton, University City, and Maplewood offer handy places to live, and the MetroLink light rail simplifies cross-town trips to the medical centers, so many travelers skip the car. Between the academic and community campuses, contracts turn over often enough to keep travelers booked. When the workday ends, the green space of Forest Park is an easy escape from the hospital.
