TravelNurseSource is partnering with Cynet Health to recruit a dedicated Progressive Care Unit (PCU) Registered Nurse for a 16-week contract in Columbus, Ohio. This role is uniquely focused on caring for patients newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, offering a specialized environment for nurses seeking to deepen their oncology expertise.
The unit operates with a primary staffing ratio of 1:4, occasionally extending to 1:5, and places a heavy emphasis on strict infection prevention and patient fall prevention protocols. The schedule consists of night shifts (3 days x 12 hours) with a focus on self-scheduling to accommodate preferred hours, though flexibility is required to meet unit needs, particularly on weekends.
As a PCU RN, you will manage a caseload of adult and geriatric patients, utilizing telemetry monitoring to interpret dysrhythmias and manage IV therapy. Key responsibilities include administering blood products and managing central lines within a computerized charting system. Success in this role requires a strong foundation in acute care, specifically the ability to handle the complexities of newly diagnosed leukemia cases while maintaining high standards of patient safety.
Candidates must be responsive and cooperative throughout the credentialing process. The onboarding requirements include valid nursing licensure, BLS and ACLS certifications, and completion of specialty exams, pharmacology training, and a skills checklist. Applicants must provide two professional references, with at least one coming from a supervisory role. All experience requirements must be met within the last three years, and education must be from an accredited nursing program.
This assignment offers the opportunity to work in a diverse healthcare setting with varying levels of technological advancement, enhancing your technological literacy. You will build a professional network with new colleagues and mentors, potentially opening doors for future career opportunities. The dynamic environment improves clinical judgment and decision-making skills, particularly in high-pressure situations. Regularly facing new challenges fosters resilience, adaptability, and confidence, while managing assignments in a new location encourages self-reliance and independence.
