Critical care nursing

So, you know how when you get really sick, you might have to go to the hospital to get special help from doctors and nurses? Well, sometimes people get REALLY sick and they need even MORE special help. That's where critical care nurses come in!

Critical care nurses are super important because they help take care of the really sick people who are in the hospital. They make sure the patients are getting all the medicine they need, making sure they're breathing okay, and helping them go to the bathroom if they need to.

Sometimes, the patients are so sick that they can't even talk or move by themselves, so the critical care nurses have to do everything for them. They also have to keep a very close eye on how the patient is doing, because if something starts going wrong, they need to be able to fix it right away.

Think of critical care nurses like superheroes! They're always ready to jump in and help save the day for the sickest patients in the hospital.
