Stepdown Registered Nurses provide specialized care for patients in transitional units who require more attention than a medical-surgical floor but less than intensive care.

This role typically involves night shifts focused on critical patient assessment and medication management.

- Calculate drug dosage, titrate medication doses, administer continuous medication infusion and monitor patients for effects of medication
