PACU is critical care too right?
I wouldn't describe PACU as being critical care, although individuals have the possibility of going critical. PACU is more of a OR/Peri-Operative specialty.
CTU- Still not technically deemed a ICU.
I am really surprised with all the hospitals that are now becoming or working on total joint or back centers that you failed to mention Certification for Orthopedic Nurses. The National Association for Orthopedic Nurses has been in existence for many years. I joined it because of all the updates and current articles and especially the yearly convention. A great place to make those social network contacts as well.
