A Shift in the Life The Ongoing Story of a Critical Care Nurse "The Dead Horse" -- Part 1 by Matthew Nathan Castens, RN, Coolnurse.com:"One of my least favorite jobs in nursing is working as charge nurse. As charge nurse for the shift, I have to know quite a bit about each patient as I act as a resource for all of the staff. This is the part I like. The part I don't like is working with the staffing office and supervisor to arrange for any admissions and finding the nurses to staff the next shift. Unfortunately, this is most of the job of charge nurse."

Critical-Care Nurse, Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow:"Critical-care nursing is that specialty within nursing that deals specifically with human responses to life-threatening problems. A critical-care nurse is a licensed professional nurse who is responsible for ensuring that all critically ill patients and their families receive optimal care. Although very sick and complex patients have always existed, the concept of critical care is relatively modern. As advances have been made in medicine and technology, patient care has become much more complex. To provide appropriate care, nurses needed specialized knowledge and skills, while care delivery mechanisms also needed to evolve to support patients needs for continuous monitoring and treatment. The first intensive care units emerged in the 1950s as a means to provide care to very sick patients who needed one-to-one care from a nurse. It was from this environment that the specialty of critical-care nursing emerged."

Three nurses pore over charts, scan reports, click a keyboard and scurry across the room to empty a urine bag, adjust a hose, raise a bedside rail. Chronic illness dominates today's caseload: lung disease, acute post-cardiac arrest, bleeding ulcers. The seven-bed unit in a 126-bed hospital serves a town of about 20,000. "In a small, rural hospital like this, the ICU nurses have to be very generalist," said Rebecca Lethlean, RN. "We take care of them all."

Emergiblog.com, The Life & Times of an ER Nurse:"My name is Kim, and I'm a nurse in the San Francisco Bay area. I've been a nurse for 28 years; I graduated in 1978 with my ADN. My experience is predominately Emergency and Critical Care, but I also worked in Psychiatry and did pediatric telephone triage. I made the decision to be a nurse back in 1966 at the age of nine."
