About the Unit:
The Step-Down ICU, also known as 2F, is a 16-bed intermediate level of care unit between the Inpatient Units and the Critical Care units. While the unit specializes in septic and respiratory compromised (COPD, PNA, Respiratory Failure) patients, nurses will encounter a variety of diagnoses, such as CHF, dysrhythmias, DKA, Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis, AMS, etc. While working closely with an interdisciplinary team, nurses provide excellent care for a high acuity-based population. 2F is a great place for nurses to cultivate and expand their assessment skills while managing several drips and other specialized procedures. Due to the proximity and collaboration with the ICU, 2F is commonly utilized as a progressive steppingstone for RNs to build a foundation of skills needed to be successful in the ICU. It’s also a great unit for LPNs to maximally utilize their training and skills in patients of progressive acuity.
