Maryland is the only state in the United States with an official State Exercise: walking. The longest escalator in the United States is in the Wheaton Station of the Washington Metro in Montgomery County, Maryland. It is 230 feet long. In the city of Rockville, swearing on the road is a misdemeanor.Stepdown units – also known as progressive care units (PCUs), telemetry, intermediate care and transitional care units – provide a path of safety for patients who were once critically ill, and are trying to make their way home. As a transition between the ICU and the general nursing floor, nurses on these units provide specialized care to patients who are still pretty sick. Not quite stable enough for med-surg, and not quite ill enough for the ICU, they require close monitoring by expert staff who know how to think critically and intervene rapidly.
