Stepdown Registered Nurses (RNs) provide specialized patient care in transitional units, offering close monitoring for patients who require more care than med-surg but less than intensive care. They assess patient progress, manage medication administration, and collaborate with healthcare teams to ensure optimal recovery. This role typically involves night shifts and requires acute clinical judgment and patient management skills.
Responsibilities

- 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
