Why ITU?

An ITU nurse is a registered nurse (RN) working in the intensive care unit or critical care unit of a hospital and is part of the medical team who attend to patients with critical conditions. Registered nurses working in the ITU department assist doctors, attend to patients, and provide support to the patient’s family. They also monitor life support equipment, administer IVs, give medication, and observe the patient’s vital signs and reactions to medical procedures.

An ICU nurse is responsible for closely observing patients, noting specific procedures and prescribed medication for each case, assisting doctors in providing physical assessments and administering treatments, monitoring vital signs and ensuring the proper functions of feeding tubes, ventilators, catheters and other life support equipment. ICU nurses attend to the patient’s overall needs.

An ITU nurse works efficiently with other practical nurses and nursing assistants in the ITU and will be able to provide clear directions and guidance for procedures and routines. An ITU nurse should also be able to provide support and education to the patient’s family, answering questions and giving vital instructions on how to care for the patient.
An ICU nurse must be a registered nurse with the UK NMC.

To be successful in ITU nursing, a registered nurse must be able to handle critical and highly stressful situations with efficiency and composure. They must be able to react decisively and intelligently in emergencies, perform and assist in medical procedures with accuracy, expertly operate life support machines and other medical equipment, and carefully look after patients with severe medical conditions.
