Many PCU patients receive complex medications that may require titration based on the patient's vital signs. The PCU nurse is sometimes also called a step-down nurse and the PCU is also known as cardiac step-down, medical step-down, neuro step-down, surgical step-down, and ER holding. Monitor and assess patients who aren't unstable enough to need ICU care.
