The PICU RN provides care for children and adolescents from 0-18 years of age, with life‑threatening or high‑acuity conditions that require constant monitoring. The RN identifies patient needs and priorities for care through detailed assessment of children who have respiratory, cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, orthopedic, endocrine and neurologic dysfunction. The PICU RN plans and delivers safe, age‑appropriate care under critical situations based on the patient’s needs to include titration of drips, multiple technical procedures and use of a variety of equipment for acute care.
