The Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU), also called a Stepdown Unit or Progressive Care Unit, provides a higher level of care than a standard medical-surgical floor, but not as intensive as an ICU. It serves as a bridge between intensive care and general care. Here, nurses see a variety of conditions, making it an ideal stepping stone into critical care. It's busy, challenging, and rewarding - where teamwork and growth go hand in hand. Explore our IMCU opportunities today ➡️ https://bit.ly/3XEX2Vk #i
