Bean 5 is a high-paced 43 bed medical respiratory unit with an
embedded 8 bed Intermediate Care Unit (IMC). Unique to Bean 5, the
8 bed IMC includes our Assisted Ventilator Unit.
The patient population on Bean 5 is vast and includes specialties
of acute on chronic states, respiratory failure, complex vascular,
general surgical and neuroscience conditions, sepsis and
multisystem organ failure.
RN's providing care in the Bean 5 IMC/AVU demonstrate astute
assessment and critical thinking skills, as patients in IMC may
have multi-system issues that require continuous monitoring,
medication drips, frequent interventions, and higher level
respiratory support. Within our Assisted Ventilation Unit (AVU)
patients may be requiring acute and/or chronic ventilator
support.
With a focus on ventilator weaning, nursing interventions require
frequent assessments and collaboration with the interdisciplinary
team. RN's working on Bean 5 have the opportunity to work in a
unique clinical setting that allows for experience in medical
telemetry, IMC, and AVU.
Bean 5's clinical nursing team includes bright, innovative
professionals looking to hold themselves and others to the highest
nursing and care standards. Our nurses, patient care technicians,
and CNAs exemplify analytic ability to identify patient needs,
risks, and interventions. We provide excellent customer service to
patients and families at their current health states and learning
abilities. As a team, we continually demonstrate exceptional
communication abilities, always effectively interacting and problem
solving with other healthcare professionals, hospital
administration, patients and families.
