Registered Nurse - Intensive Care Unit

Premium ICU Registered Nurse Assignments Pay Up To $3,200 Per Week!

ICU RNs use advanced skills to care for patients who are critically ill and at high risk for life-threatening health problems. Depending on the unit, ICU patients include but are not limited to stroke, shock, severe trauma, heart attack, respiratory distress, multiple organ failure, sepsis, and other critical conditions.   Because of the critical nature of the patients, it is standard that ICU RNs only have one or two patients on a shift based on acuity.
