FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Oklahoma City, OK
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's the academic setting like at OU Health University of Oklahoma Medical Center?
As Oklahoma's only comprehensive academic hospital, the medical center is affiliated with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences and the OU College of Medicine, where students, residents, and fellows train.
What trauma services does OU Health University of Oklahoma Medical Center provide?
The hospital is an American College of Surgeons-verified Level I Trauma Center with an in-house trauma surgeon, specialty teams, and operating-room capability available 24 hours a day.
What cancer, transplant, and stroke programs are available at OU Medical Center?
The campus includes a certified Comprehensive Stroke Center and works alongside Stephenson Cancer Center, Oklahoma's only NCI-Designated Cancer Center, and the state's only comprehensive bone marrow transplant center.
