A surgical ICU stepdown nurse is a registered nurse who specializes in caring for post-operative patients who don’t require an intensive level of care in the surgical ICU but aren’t stable enough for a general med-surg setting. SICU stepdown nurses provide effective transitional care to a diverse patient population who’ve undergone various surgeries. Patients admitted to a surgical stepdown unit usually require close cardiac monitoring, continuous pulse-oximetry, and more frequent assessments and interventions. Qualified nurses in the SICU area are always in high demand and there are ample opportunities for professional and personal growth in a fast-paced SICU stepdown environment. SICU stepdown is a great place to enhance clinical knowledge and skills and prepare nurses to face challenging situations as they progress through their careers.

Surgical ICU Stepdown nurses may hold BLS - Basic Life Support or ACLS - Advanced Cardiac Life Support among others.
