FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Salem, VA
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 trauma setting like for travel nurses at LewisGale Medical Center in Salem?
A Level II Trauma Center with 24/7 in-house trauma surgeons, LewisGale Medical Center serves the Roanoke Valley and southwest Virginia.
What cardiac and stroke care will travel nurses find at LewisGale Medical Center?
A Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center and an ACC-accredited Chest Pain Center anchor emergency cardiac and stroke care, and the hospital charts on Meditech.
What neuroscience and teaching environment does LewisGale offer travel nurses?
A neuroscience program spans neurosurgery, aneurysm, epilepsy, and stroke care, on a teaching campus with emergency-medicine, internal-medicine, and psychiatry residencies.

Explore Salem, VA
In the Roanoke Valley sits Salem, VA, within easy reach of the region's main hospital systems and the Blue Ridge beyond. Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and LewisGale Medical Center anchor the area's inpatient care, and their emergency department and med-surg units keep RN coverage in demand through the year. Clinicians often settle in Roanoke, Vinton, or Christiansburg to keep commutes short along the valley corridor. When the day winds down, the Roanoke Valley Greenways and the nearby mountain overlooks are an easy reach for a quick break. As a low-key valley base with the Blue Ridge at the doorstep, Salem tends to suit nurses who want the mountains closer than the metro.
