Unit Description

5 East is a 32 bed Cardiac Intermediate Critical Care unit that provides nursing care for adult and geriatric patients. The goal of this unit is to provide high quality care to patients no longer requiring critical care, but requiring a higher level of care than can be provided on the medical floors. Serving as an ICU step-down unit allows CICCU staff members to care for cardiac patients and patients from all other specialties and areas. Caring for high acuity patients requires that teamwork be utilized every day in this fast-paced, high-energy unit. Orientation is individually based and can last between 8-12 weeks depending on the needs of the new team member.
