Intensive Care Unit

The Intensive Care Unit is a (6)-bed unit with continuous hemodynamic monitoring capabilities and nursing staff competent in critical care delivery. Nurse to patient ratio can range from 1:2 to 1:3, depending on the patient acuity and demonstrated by nursing competence. Care is provided to patients from pediatric (greater than one year old and greater than 10kg weight) to geriatric. These patients may have single or multi-system failure requiring intensive care.

Our staffing plan is designed to meet AACN guidelines. We utilize full, part-time, and prn RN's with relevant training and experience. LPN's, Ceritified nursing aides, secretaries and Monitor Technicians may be utilized as needed. Patient assignment is governed by competency, staffing matrix, patient acurity, and policies and procedures.
