An ICU nurse is sometimes called a critical care nurse. These are registered nurses (RNs) who may possess additional training, internships or education. They work primarily in intensive care units (ICUs), providing the extensive care required for patients in these units. There may be a lot of hands on work for these nurses, who can also be the first point of contact for family members, helping them to cope with a loved one’s serious illness.
Training to become an ICU nurse is variable. Some people, upon completing RN training, immediately get jobs in this unit of a hospital. Many hospitals require more. They might offer an internship to train in critical care nursing, which could last for several years, or they look for nurses who have already worked on surgical or medical wards for a number of years. Job requirements might exceed these, and the only way some hospitals will hire someone is if they possess certification as a critical care RN or if they have a master’s degree that specializes in critical care. Some nursing schools have this advanced degree.

Question by Barney Blake: LPN nursing jobs in NYC?
Before anyone says, “Don’t waste your time being an LPN, go right to school for RN”, I am early into the LPN program as I write this and am, as of this time, only going to go for the LPN.
That said, how is the job market for LPNs in New York City? Are there alot of jobs for LPNs in NYC? How is the pay? How is the pay compared to the cost of living in NYC?
Can you think of any other places where there are plenty of jobs for LPNs that pay well and the cost of living isn’t ridiculous? Someplace in New Jersey, perhaps, or Maryland, Delaware, or Virginia?
Here in PA, the average starting salary for an LPN at a hospital is between and per hour, at nursing homes it ranges from to per hour (for LPNs). I would desire to make at least per hour to start (I want to be able to pay off student loans within a year, then save for a down payment on a house, buy the house, be able to pay bills and mortgage with plenty left over to save).

The responsibilities assigned to the CNA’s are less complicated. Some of them include caring for patients, assisting patients in routine activities, dressing, bathing and so on. On the other hand, the duties given to the licensed nurses are much more complicated and the major ones include recording the health history of patients, providing medication to the ailing individuals, sterilizing, geriatric care, glucose testing, and other such tasks.

Question
If you could go back to 11 months before you came to school, what would you do to get ready to experience easier?
I started studying A & P and I “m up to the skeletal system. I am now realizing some of the terminology, which makes it a little easier to understand.
So … what should I do with the next steps? I feel like I learn what I could and not let pass a day without the need to learn. And by the way, all nursing topics are included with the program, we take no prereqs, such as A & P, medical terminology, etc.
