Progressive Care Nurses (PCU) provide close monitoring and frequent assessment to patients who are not unstable enough for ICU care. PCU nurses monitor cardiac and other vital signs, detect changes, and enable timely intervention for life‑threatening or emergency situations. Many PCU patients receive complex medications that may require titration based on vital signs. The PCU nurse is sometimes also called a step‑down nurse and the PCU is also known as cardiac step‑down, medical step‑down, neuro step‑down, surgical step‑down, and ER holding.

• Monitor and assess patients who aren’t unstable enough to need ICU care.
• Utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information and detect any changes, facilitating timely life‑threatening or emergency interventions.
