Inpatient Nursing

Intermediate Care Unit

Included within our Medical/Surgical Unit, staff manage patients that are highly complex with acute and chronic diseases or injuries needing continuous monitoring and support but are slightly less critical than Intensive Care Unit Patients.

Medical/Surgical Unit

Our Medical/Surgical Unit cares for patients admitted directly or through the Emergency Department, Surgical Services, or transfers from the ICU. Our staff cares for patients with dialysis, telemetry, orthopedic injuries, bariatric surgery, and general surgery, as well
as patients recovering from brain injury and stroke.

RNs hired into the Medical/Surgical Unit also care for Intermediate Care patients upon completion of training program.

Mental Health Unit

Natividad’s Mental Health Unit (MHU) focuses on treating and managing acute mental illness for individuals with depression, bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia. This acute inpatient unit is a aocked unit that provides safe care for patients with support of a full
interdisciplinary team.

Float Pool

Natividad has a robust Nursing Float Pool that supports several areas of patient care. This provides nurses with opportunities to care for a wide variety and type of patients, expanding their knowledge and expertise in nursing practice. Some of the units where Float Pool Nurses provide nursing care are:

A seamless transition to postpartum care continues from Labor & Delivery to the Mother Infant Unit (MIU) with another team of nurses trained to support the entire family in caring for their new member.
