Critical Care Registered Nurse
CurrentAs a Critical Care Nurse at St. Francis Hospital, I specialize in providing exceptional care to patients in the ICU, where their needs surpass standard care requirements. My core responsibilities include conducting comprehensive patient assessments, monitoring vital signs, and responding promptly to acute changes in patient conditions. I administer treatments with precision, ensuring optimal outcomes in patient care. Additionally, I play a key role in identifying changes in a patient's condition and reacting accordingly, maintaining meticulous patient records, and completing necessary paperwork for patient transfers out of the intensive care unit. My commitment extends to ensuring a sterile environment and sterile tools to protect medically fragile patients. I actively collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, communicate regularly with doctors and surgeons about patient care plans, and assist disabled patients with their daily hygiene needs, including bathing, feeding, and dressing. I bring a comprehensive skill set that includes strong communication, empathy, and humanity.
