- Transitional care nurse
- Patient monitoring
Stepdown Registered Nurses (RNs) provide specialized patient care in transitional units, managing patients who require closer monitoring than general medical-surgical floors but do not need intensive care. They evaluate patient progress, administer medications, and collaborate closely with physicians and healthcare teams. Their role involves critical assessment, medication management, and continuous patient monitoring to ensure optimal recovery.
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
