Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) nurses are registered nurses who specialize in caring for critically ill patients who either require surgery or are recovering from surgery. The SICU is a fast-paced, high acuity critical care environment that can provide a very rewarding experience for nurses who are passionate about helping critically ill patients. Due to a shortage of qualified critical care nurses, surgical ICU nurses are always in high demand.

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