What is a Pediatric Intensive Care Nurse?
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurses are registered nurses who specialize in working with children of all ages with serious medical conditions. Patients range from infants to adolescents, usually up to 18 years old, who may have a chronic illness or disease, be recovering from a complex surgery, or have suffered severe trauma. Besides patient care, pediatric ICU nurses offer emotional support and education to their patients’ parents and other family members. It takes a special kind of RN to work in the PICU, which can be rewarding and/or heartbreaking on any given day.
Which certifications are best for Pediatric Intensive Care nurses?
Some healthcare employers may prefer pediatric intensive care nurse job candidates with Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Acute/Critical Care Knowledge Professional (CCRN-K) or Pediatric Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN), and some may even require specific professional certifications.
How does having a Pediatric Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN) increase my value as a Pediatric ICU nurse job candidate?
Having a Pediatric Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN) validates your knowledge and skills as a pediatric intensive care unit nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
