Registered nurses working in intensive care require specialised knowledge and skills to plan, provide and evaluate safe evidence-based nursing care. Working in a complex and dynamic healthcare environment, the specialist intensive care nurse is required to have the ability to respond, adapt, implement, evaluate and communicate decisions based on the scope and context of practice for a range of critically ill individuals and their families across the lifespan. Contemporary healthcare service delivery in the intensive care setting is constantly changing. You will be encouraged to critique and employ innovative technologies and therapies.
