FAQs – PCU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Morgantown, WV
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 kind of high-acuity assignment can travel nurses expect at J.W. Ruby Memorial?
Ruby Memorial is WVU Medicine's Magnet flagship hospital and a Level I adult trauma center with complex surgical, cardiac, critical-care, and specialty services. Travelers may work with referral patients from across West Virginia and surrounding states.
How are the ICU populations organized at Ruby Memorial?
The hospital has medical, surgical, and cardiovascular intensive-care settings, with ECMO available through critical care. ICU travelers may care for severe medical illness, major trauma, postoperative patients, and complex heart and vascular conditions.
What is distinctive about Ruby Memorial's approach to older trauma patients?
A dedicated geri-trauma service coordinates hospitalist, geriatric, and trauma care for injured adults age 65 and older. Travel nurses may see complex patients with fractures, multiple chronic conditions, and higher risks during recovery.
