Intensive and Critical Care Nursing

Critical and Intensive Care Nursing is dedicated to empowering specialized nurses to deliver exceptional care to patients in critical conditions. Intensive care nursing is a specialized field within nursing that prioritizes providing optimal care to critically ill or unstable patients who have experienced significant injuries, undergone major surgeries, or are grappling with life-threatening illnesses. These healthcare professionals typically oversee the care of critically ill patients who may require interventions such as endotracheal intubation, titratable vasoactive intravenous medications, or mechanical ventilation. Critical care nurses can be found in various settings, including general intensive care units, surgical intensive care units, medical intensive care units, cardiothoracic intensive care units, trauma intensive care units, coronary care units, burns units, pediatrics, and certain trauma center emergency departments.
