- In this episode, we’re going to talk about the ICU. Specifically why we prefer ICU and why nurses like working in the ICU. The main reasons are; patient ratios, makes us more marketable, more critical thinking, and being there for the patient in their most vulnerable point. We’ll also touch base on some good qualities of ICU nurses.

"It could be worse" I learned this as an ICU patient. From this I learned thankful and grateful. Thankful is not worse, and grateful for my current condition. 400lbs in my back leaving me with 18 broken bones and a punctured lung (10 vertibrae, 7 ribs, and left scapula. Plus a lot of other damage) I am now working through nursing school to be an ICU nurse myself.
For the new nurses coming to the ICU please do not attempt to turn patients on your own. If you don’t have the help or the staff then wait until you get the help
Facts, the first few turns you might feel ok but it adds up real quick!
