Registered Nurses provide care for patients who require close
monitoring and frequent assessment but are not unstable enough to
require ICU care. The PCU RN will monitor critical vital signs and

emergency situation. The PCU RN is also sometimes referred to as
Step Down Nurse and the Progressive Care Unit can also be known as
Cardiac Stepdown, Neuro Stepdown, Medical Stepdown, Surgical
Stepdown and ER holding. The PCU RN cares for patients as they
transition from the ICU. Progressive care describes the care
delivered to patients whose needs are less acute. A decreased risk
of a life-threatening event, decreased need for invasive
monitoring, increased stability and an increased ability to
