Looking for organizations with MICU/PACU

[iwoomaip, MSN, RN]

Moving to Portland, OR this year and beginning to look/apply for positions. Looking for insight into specific hospitals and specialty units.

 

I have 4 years nursing experience in med/surg, 1 year ICU experience in a medical ICU (MICU). Looking to specifically either transfer into another MICU, step-down/progressive care, or a non-pediatric PACU.

 

Based on what I have been able to investigate online:

• OHSU
  • MICU
  • PACU (some pediatrics)
• Legacy 
  • Good sam:
    • Combined M/SICU
    • PACU (unsure if pediatric bays are included)
  • Emanuel:
    • Neuro/trauma ICU. Unclear whether they have a medical ICU at this campus as well?
    • PACU (some pediatrics)
• Providence
  • Unsure whether they have a specific medical ICU or PACU
• Kaiser
  • Unable to transfer here d/t 2 year experience requirement for either specialty I am looking to transfer into. 

 

Anyone with experience at these organizations, or has some insight into specific units/structure of the organization, I would greatly appreciate your insight.

Thank you!
