Details:
Intensive care unit (ICU) staff RNs provide care for patients with life-threatening medical conditions.
These nurses work in the critical care unit of a hospital or healthcare facility and look after patients who have experienced invasive surgery, accidents, trauma or organ failure.
Working in an ICU requires careful assessment and monitoring of patient progress in order to watch for sudden or subtle changes in a patient’s medical condition that might require emergency intervention.
ICU staff RNs are responsible for managing medication doses, anesthesia and ventilatory support.
Critical care nurses should be prepared to work long hours and deal with life-and-death situations on a daily basis. Excellent teamwork, multi-tasking and interpersonal communication skills are essential for an ICU staff RN, as is the ability to rise to challenges and stay calm under pressure.
