At Willis Knighton Pierremont (WKP), our Acute Intermediate Care Unit consists of 27 beds and is located on the 7th floor. Our unit population includes cardiovascular, respiratory, surgical, ortho-neuro, and various other medical conditions. Patients admitted to this unit require intermediate care which includes critical care thinking, accurate assessment skills, and exceptional communication with providers. Our nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:3, allowing the nurse to collaborate with the interdisciplinary health care delivery team, the patient and their family for a coordinated plan of care. Support staff are an intricate part of this unit and are readily available to complement the team. Orientation for new graduates includes an initial “Kick-Start” program followed by a structured 14-week preceptorship and Collaborative Skills Review. This includes two weeks of training in our Intensive Care Unit. All new graduates and nurses with one year or less experience will be enrolled in our Nurse Residency Program. Nurses with greater than one year experience, but do not have intermediate/critical care experience, will be offered an orientation based on their experience and comfort level. ACLS is required and may be obtained free of charge once employed. WKP promotes a model of healthy work culture in which we expect and maintain a respectful environment for each other as well as our patients and their families. If you are positive, collaborative, and willing to learn, we would love for you to come join our TEAM!!
