In this episode, we’re going to talk about the ICU. Specifically why we prefer ICU and why nurses like working in the ICU. The main reasons are; patient ratios, makes us more marketable, more critical thinking, and being there for the patient in their most vulnerable point. We’ll also touch base on some good qualities of ICU nurses.
