Stepdown Registered Nurses (RNs) provide specialized care for patients in transitional units who require more attention than those on medical-surgical floors but less than intensive care. Their duties include monitoring patient progress, administering medication, and collaborating with healthcare teams. This role involves working night shifts and delivering critical patient evaluation and medication management.
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
