Nursing Departments
At RCRMC, patients’ needs are identified by means of thorough assessments performed by multiple disciplines. These assessments take into consideration physiological, psychosocial, cultural, spiritual and age-specific needs.

Adult and Neonatal Intensive Care Units
RCRMC’s Intensive Care Units (ICU) house patients in need of intensive care related to medicine, neurosurgery, neonatology, pediatrics and surgery. Adult and neonatal ICUs are both located on the second floor, Building F.

Adult Critical Care Units
RCRMC has 24 beds dedicated to Adult Critical Care Units (ACCU), located on the second floor, Building D.

The ACCU provides patient care to critically ill patients, to those with a high risk potential, and to those requiring special therapeutic, diagnostic and pharmacological interventions who are 16 years of age and older. This covers a variety of patients, including medical, surgical, trauma, neurological, neurosurgical, orthopedic, Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT), urological, gynecological, obstetrical, and ophthalmologic.

Progressive Care Unit
The Progressive Care Unit houses 33 beds and is located on the second floor, Building C.

The Progressive Care Unit provides high quality, skilled care for patients aged 16 and older, who require telemetry for cardiac monitoring, for neurosurgical step-down patients requiring close observation, and for higher acuity patients who no longer meet critical care criteria.

Pediatrics and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
RCRMC’s Pediatric Unit is a special place. RCRMC’s Child Life Specialist and highly qualified nurses know how to help youngsters from birth to 16 years deal with the overwhelming experience of being hospitalized. And they’re aware of the challenges the parents and guardians of these children face as well. The Pediatric Unit is located on the third floor, Building D.

The Pediatric Unit is secured and all visitors are screened. A special electronic identification system is utilized, which prevents children wandering out of the unit.  

For any child experiencing a more serious illness, RCRMC maintains a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). RCRMC has the only PICU in Riverside County, and is also a designated Pediatric Trauma Center. Pediatric Intensivists and highly trained nurses certified in advanced life support, specializing in the care of critically ill children, staff the PICU. The unit houses specialized equipment such as pediatric ventilators and intensive care cribs to immediately provide necessary care.
Additionally, the NICU and the PICU both have specially trained staff available to transport neonates and pediatric patients to RCRMC.

With 40 obstetric beds and 32 newborn nursery cribs, RCRMC is well prepared to accommodate Riverside County’s booming population.

All infants are protected with an electronic infant safety and security system.
