Graduate Nurse: Journey to ICU- Acute Care Track (UPMC Williamsport)

Do you have a career goal to become a skilled ICU nurse? UPMC Williamsport is currently hiring a Full-Time Registered Nurse to join our Progressive Care Unit Team! Gaining experience in this department will better prepare nurses to transition into our ICUs.

This Journey to ICU Program is designed to equip you with the skills and confidence needed to become a successful ICU nurse.

Participants will begin their first year on our Progressive Care Unit (PCU), where they will build a strong foundation in caring for a diverse and high-acuity patient population. After completing one year on the PCU, nurses will have the opportunity to interview for a transition into our Intensive Care Unit (ICU). During this time, our goal is to support new graduate nurses in gaining the clinical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and hands-on experience necessary to thrive in the ICU environment at UPMC Williamsport.

About the Units:

Progressive Care Unit (Step Down)

The 6 East Progressive Care Unit (PCU) at UPMC Williamsport is a 24-bed step-down unit that provides an intermediate level of care for patients who require close monitoring and specialized nursing support, but do not meet criteria for intensive care. The unit is designed to bridge the gap between the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and general medical-surgical units, ensuring high-quality, patient-centered care. The nurse to patient ration is 1:4 or 1:5 depending on staffing availability

Staffing Structure: The PCU is staffed by a dedicated team that includes:

A Unit Director
Three Clinicians
Registered Nurses (RNs)
Patient Care Technicians (PCTs)
Unit Clerks

The nurse-to-patient ratio typically ranges from 1:4 to 1:5, depending on staffing availability and patient acuity, ensuring safe and effective care delivery.

Patient Population: The unit serves a diverse and complex patient population, including but not limited to:

Cardiac conditions: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Myocardial Infarction (MI), post-pacemaker insertion, ablation procedures, and post-cardiac catheterization
Hemodynamic support: Patients receiving intravenous drips such as Nitro, Lidocaine, Milrinone, Dobutamine, Dopamine, Amiodarone, Cardizem
Anticoagulation and diuretic therapy: Heparin and Lasix drips
Respiratory support: Chronic ventilator management and V60 BiPAP
Endocrine emergencies: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) requiring insulin infusions
Trauma patients requiring intermediate care
Patients requiring a higher level of monitoring and intervention than a general medical unit, but who do not meet ICU criteria

The 6 East PCU is committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care in a collaborative environment that promotes healing and recovery.

Intensive Care Unit

UPMC Williamsport’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a state-of-the-art, 28-bed unit designed to provide advanced care for a diverse and high-acuity patient population. Each room is private, featuring en-suite bathrooms and showers, with four rooms equipped for negative pressure isolation.

Eleven rooms are outfitted with MAXI Sky lifts to support safe patient mobility, and all rooms are compatible with the AIR Tap system to enhance safety for both patients and staff.

Our ICU delivers a wide range of critical care treatments, including ECMO, IMPELLA, IABP, CRRT, TTM, and more. We maintain 24/7 onsite coverage by our Advanced Practice Provider (APP) team and are supported by a full critical care management team. Nurse-to-patient ratios are typically 1:2, with flexibility for 1:1 care when clinically necessary.

The unit features a centralized monitoring system, three multidisciplinary touchdown stations, and dedicated support from Respiratory Therapy, Occupational and Rehabilitation Services, and an on-unit Pharmacist. Additional amenities include:

On-site sleeping quarters for perfusionists during ECMO cases

Two dietary rooms and a hospital telemetry monitoring room

A staff relaxation room for restorative breaks

A secure locker room and a well-appointed staff break room

A clean, welcoming visitor waiting area and a private family room for sensitive conversations

Daily huddles are held twice a day in the central hallway to share updates, celebrate HACHP scores, and reinforce our commitment to patient safety.

Our leadership team includes four clinical leaders, a dedicated educator, and a unit director, all supported by the Clinical Director of Critical Care and hospital leadership—ensuring a collaborative and successful environment for both staff and patients.
