Responsibilities

  • Manage higher-acuity patients stepping down from intensive care who require close monitoring
  • Monitor continuous telemetry and hemodynamic status, recognizing and escalating changes promptly
  • Administer medications and IV therapy, including titratable drips approved for the unit, per facility protocol

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.
Is Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center a Level I trauma center?
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is the region's only Level I adult and pediatric trauma center and only burn center, an 885-bed academic flagship in Winston-Salem with AirCare transport, so travelers see the highest-acuity cases.
What cancer and cardiac programs are available to travel nurses at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center?
It holds an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and a hybrid cardiac and vascular cath lab performing open-heart surgery, valve repair, and CABG, giving travelers oncology and cardiac assignments.
How does Wake Forest Baptist combine academic medicine and children's care for travelers?
As the teaching hospital for Wake Forest University School of Medicine, it includes Brenner Children's Hospital with a pediatric ED, PICU, and NICU, and charts on Epic (WakeOne).

Winston-Salem, NC blends Old Salem's living history with a working healthcare market in the Piedmont Triad. Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist and Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center carry patient flow across the ICU and surgical suites. Kernersville, Clemmons, and High Point frequently serve as residential bases close to the hospital corridors, and the compact neighborhoods keep everyday logistics simple as assignments rotate. Once a shift wraps, the Salem Lake trails or the gardens at Reynolda offer a quick break without much planning. With the rest of the Triad a short drive off, travelers can weigh assignments across Greensboro and High Point without relocating. The cost of living stays moderate for the region, which is part of what draws travelers to a Triad contract.
