PICU Nurse Resume
A PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) nurse provides nursing and medical care to newborn babies, infants, toddlers, and young children with serious medical conditions. Since patients brought in the ICU are generally under critical condition, the nurses have to always be on their toes. Given the minor status and physical developing stage of children, the nurses have to be extra cautious while caring them. They has to ensure that proper care is delivered to the patients and there is continuous progress in health.
The PICU nurses need to have good communication skills and great attention to detail since they constantly perform patient care tasks and use medical equipment. For performing the PICU duties properly, the nurses will have to use hemostats and floor grade forceps.
