I’ve been an ER nurse for 2 years now and will be transferring to ICU in a few weeks. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I want to expand my critical care skill set and knowledge. Get into Critical Care Transport, open more doors for myself instead of feeling stuck in ER. Just hearing your tips here gives me a better understanding of the mindset in ICU. Compared to ER, I’m thinking what are they here for, what’s pending, what’s the plan, what did we do, and what do I have to do to keep them stable until transfer/dc.

Thank-you for your videos! I just started in ICU and I am feeling overwhelmed, learning is a little harder when preceptors are not the teaching type with rather getting things done themselves. Some preceptors make you feel low. Since I am new to the ICU setting, any more advice on how to intervene quickly to pt's conditions changing?
@JosiahShoon6 жыл бұрын
Bubblebee Poo I have very few issues with nursing, but one of my biggest is when “nurses eat their young.” There are going to be preceptors who make you feel low, but please don’t let them discourage you. ICU is hard, there’s no getting around it. But push through it and you’ll find after some time you’ll be swimming and you’ll be the one precepting. The one thing I ask is that you don’t buy into a culture of putting new people down. As to your question on a patient condition changing quickly. If you’re still being precepted, call your preceptor, no matter how scary or impersonal they are. It’s a patients life. Their job is to teach you and your job is to learn. Call them if you feel uncomfortable or concerned about a patients condition, and regardless of their attitude there is something to learn from someone who is experienced, even if they don’t want to teach. So call, explain your rationale, see what they say or do, and take a mental note or actually write a note, review it when you get home and believe it or not... you’ll learn from that. It’s kind of like a sport, I wrestled and really enjoyed MMA and there was something coaches called “mat time” you could practice all you want, drill etc but nothing improved an athlete more than really being in the situations over and over again to become comfortable and competent and know what to do. You learned even when you didn’t know you were learning, when you were just trying to survive. That’s kind of how ICU is. So keep getting your time in, learn as much as you can, study situations that happened during the day when you get home and it will take some time, but one day you’ll be shocked at how much you’ve learned, one day you’ll be the person teaching what you know. So stick with it and don’t let anyone discourage you from being the best you can be.
