Medical/Surgical ICU

A Beacon of Nursing Advocacy

When patient care is critical, MSICU nurses' clinical skill is exceeded only by their genuine compassion to the St. Luke's mission: healing the whole patient, body, mind and spirit.

Consistently Recognized

If earning the coveted AACN Beacon Award for critical care excellence is the highest achievement, St. Luke's is clearly off the charts. Our MSICU team has continually held this distinctive honor since its inception. But even more than the breakthrough research and technology available at a primary teaching hospital, their success relies on the persistent pursuit of excellence by a stable, dedicated nursing team – three-quarters have been on the unit five or more years, half ten or more, and a third 15+. 

Exceptionally Satisfied

Top nurses move to the 18-bed MICU for its commitment to professional excellence. They stay for the intense personal satisfaction that comes from being a valued member of a collaborative team focused on better patient outcomes. With large windows, state-of-the-art electronic monitoring and soothing music therapy in all patient rooms, it's a pleasant environment designed to replenish the spirit as well as repair the body. The bottom line? Practitioner satisfaction is as high as the turnover rate of 1% is low.
