I've been at a SNF for about a year now working the 2-10 shift and applied for a PCU night shift at a local hospital. Passed the phone interview and got invited for an actual in person interview. I was wondering if anyone has any experience as a PCU CNA at night and what I can expect. Thanks

PCU is like step down for ICU patients who are more stable but not yet ready for discharge or transfer to the med-surg level of care.
Expect 10-15 patients, and to help with taking VS and ADLs, just like in LTC. Expect bariatric patients with mobility limitations.
