Ohio State University – Wexner Medical Center — Columbus, OH
Columbus, OH
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center spreads across seven hospitals in Columbus, and for nurses the acuity concentrates in three of them — University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, and the freestanding James Cancer Hospital.
- University Hospital is an ACS Level I trauma center and holds central Ohio's only adult burn center and the region's only adult solid-organ transplant program — a base for trauma, burn, and transplant nurses. Read More
- The Ross Heart Hospital is a dedicated cardiac hospital and the Arthur G. James is a freestanding NCI-designated comprehensive cancer hospital, so cardiac and oncology RNs work in purpose-built settings.
- Magnet across University Hospital, Ross Heart, and The James — and OSU was the first health system in central Ohio to earn Magnet.
- A Level III NICU, a Center for Neuromodulation, and a deep neuroscience program add further specialty tracks.

FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Columbus, OH
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.
What trauma and specialty designations does OSU Wexner's University Hospital hold?
University Hospital is an ACS Level I trauma center and home to central Ohio's only adult burn center, the only adult solid-organ transplant program in the region, and a Level III NICU.
Is Ohio State Wexner Medical Center a Magnet hospital?
University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, and The James are all Magnet-designated, and OSU was the first health system in central Ohio to earn Magnet.
Which charting system is used at OSU Wexner by travel PCU RNs?
OSU Wexner uses Epic, known internally as IHIS. Nurses with previous Epic experience may already be familiar with many of the charting and documentation workflows used during an assignment.

Explore Columbus, OH
Across a sprawling central-Ohio metro, Columbus, OH is shaped by two large systems, the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital. Coverage leans on travelers to staff intensive care units and med-surg floors throughout the area. Openings frequently extend into Dublin, Westerville, and Grove City, which give clinicians practical bases and short commutes into the hospital districts. The metro keeps growing outward, which widens where a traveler can reasonably land. The flat, gridded layout and the I-270 outerbelt keep getting around simple, and after demanding stretches the Short North Arts District and the Scioto Mile trails along the river are close by. Between the academic centers and the community campuses, travelers usually have several contract options across central Ohio.
