Our 52-bed Pulmonary Medical Unit cares for patients with multiple medical
disease processes and also provides remote telemetry for up to six patients.
In addition, six of our beds are for the Ventilator Transition Team, which
manages patients that are weaning from ventilators. The team also treats
those on invasive bipap and those who have more complex pulmonary diseases.
The Nurse Residency program is ideal for graduate nurses who are interested
in this field of medicine and want to hone their skills in a highly supportive
setting. If you select this program, you'll enjoy education in basic pulmonary
care and basic diabetes, as well as the support of the dedicated education
specialist, clinical nurse specialist and pulmonary medical director.
Down the road, you may also take advantage of the advanced development
programs specifically designed for Ventilator Transition Team nurses.
