- patient care
Stepdown Registered Nurses (RNs) provide specialized patient care in transitional units for patients requiring more attention than general medical-surgical floors but less than intensive care. They monitor patient progress, administer and titrate medications, and collaborate closely with physicians and healthcare teams. This role involves managing complex patient conditions during night shifts in a hospital setting.
Responsibilities
Stepdown Nurses (RN) provide patient care in transitional units where patients are too sick for the med-surg floor but not sick enough for intensive care. Stepdown RNs job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Evaluate and monitor patient's progress, identifying sudden or subtle changes in the patient's medical condition
- Calculate drug dosage, titrate medication doses, administer continuous medication infusion and monitor patients for effects of medication
- Stepdown RNs work closely and collaborate with physicians and all other healthcare professionals
