Critical Care Skills Every Nurse Should Know

Patients in critical care units are sicker than ever before, and are often transferred to Med-Surg units, long-term care and home health care with critical care interventions. If you are a nurse caring for acutely-ill patients in non-ICU environments you need to know essential critical care skills in order to be able to adequately care for these patients.

The Critical Care Skills Package reviews essential critical care skills that every nurse must know, and is great for:

  • Telemetry and stepdown nurses
  • Nurses working in long-term, outpatient or other areas where acutely ill patients are cared for.



Only $77
