I’m Going To Shadow A Nurse In A Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (picu). What Skills Should I Brush Up On?

Filed in Category Pediatric Care

I’m starting my semester of nursing in pediatrics and OB. So far, all I know is the complete physical assessment for children. What nursing fundamentals/skills/terms should I know in order to better understand my time following the nurse in the PICU?

    I am a Rn in a PICU. I would suspect your just observing the nurse in her role. The PICU I work in is a high energy workplace. The sickest kids are in that unit. It would be helpful to be knowlegeable about ventilators, vasopressors, central lines, arterial lines. Remember, your learning so asking questions is how you’ll learn.
