What types of critical care experience are accepted? Which are preferred?
The requirement for critical care is that you have experience as a Registered Nurse in a critical care area, with emphasis placed on invasive hemodynamic monitoring, ventilatory care and pharmacologic management. The preferred areas (with the greatest preference first) are: • SICU (Surgical Intensive Care) • MICU (Medical Intensive Care) • CICU (Cardiac Intensive Care) • PICU/NICU (Pediatric or Neonatal Intensive Care) • Applicants have also been accepted whose experience is primarily in the Emergency Room, provided they can demonstrate familiarity with invasive monitoring, ventilators, and critical care pharmacology.
