The Acute Care Unit (ACU) is a 50-bed medical surgical unit that provides care for patients of various ages and diagnoses. Most ACU patients are admitted under the care of Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) physicians. Common diagnoses include asthma exacerbation, bronchiolitis/RSV, pneumonia, cellulitis/abscess, fever in neonates, dehydration, gastroenteritis, and post-operative care for tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy or bilateral myringotomy tube placement. The average length of stay for our patients is approximately two days. 

Nurses on ACU have the opportunity to develop and refine a wide range of clinical skills, including IV placement, NG tube insertion, CVL care, gastrostomy tube care, and medication administration. We take pride in delivering expert, compassionate care, helping our patients achieve optimal outcomes in a supportive and dynamic environment.
