An acute care nurse is a registered nurse who specializes in treating patients with short-term but serious conditions who need immediate assistance. They may be called on to treat a wide array of severe injuries and illnesses, from med-surg patients, to car accident victims, to strokes. Acute care nursing is a rewarding yet challenging career path due to the time-sensitive, critical situations they’re often thrust into. Acute care nurses work in a variety of clinical settings where emergency or critical care is provided. They may also work with a travel nursing agency.

Acute care nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), AACN Certification in Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN), AACN Certification in Acute/Critical Care Nursing - Pediatric (CCRN-Pediatric) or AACN TeleICU Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN-E Adult), among others.
