The Staff on the Acute Care Unit

Staffing on the Acute Care Unit includes on-call physicians, Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) and Unit Secretaries (US).

Charge Nurses have Critical Care/Emergency Department experience and supervise the Acute Care Unit as well as the Emergency Room. Charge Nurses are RNs who are verified in ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), TNCC (Trauma Nurse Core Curriculum), PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) and BLS (Basic Life Support).

We, the staff of Story County Medical Center, hope that you and your family will benefit from the convenience associated with obtaining Acute Care at SCMC. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about your care.
