Welcome to Critical Care Simplified. My name is Patricia, I have been an ICU nurse since 2007. The purpose of this channel is to demystify the ICU for nurses entering the critical care arena for the first time. Whether you are a new graduate or transitioning to critical care from another area of specialty, this channel is for you. I remembered how difficult it was to navigate the critical care environment when I began this journey many years ago, where every shift came with new challenges, lessons and opportunities to make a difference. On this channel, I'll be sharing practical nursing knowledge, critical care topics, and clinical pearls from almost two decades of experience in the critical care setting. My goal is to assist new ICU nurses to build confidence, develop strong clinical judgement, and continue to grow professionally. If that sounds valuable to you, please subscribe and join us at, "Critical Care Simplified", as we explore the art and science of Nursing together.
