Jenna, ICU RN

Why did you choose Critical Care Nursing Specialty Education? It was the complexity of the patients – that’s what drove me into nursing. I worked surgical for four years and I always found myself enjoying it most when I was taking care of really sick patients. And what I liked about it was critical thinking and figuring out what’s going on, working with the doctors, putting the pieces together and eventually a lot of those patients would go to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and that’s what drove me to ICU. 

What advice would you give to those who are considering Intensive Care Unit Education? Do a shadow day and say, “Am I able to be in a one-on-one area of care?” It’s very intense and very detailed. You learn so much information and it is so condensed so you have to be prepared for that and just know that it will be your life for seven months. But at the same time, it is very enjoyable. 

What is it like now that you are working in the Intensive Care Unit? It was like “this is it”. It’s go-go-go… It’s actually been really good. Huge learning curve, but so far so good. I have a great mentor and lots of guidance. Tons of new stuff… I think sometimes I just step back and say, “Am I really doing this?”, but I love it and I know this is where I am meant to be in regards to my career.
