Does anyone know if there is a nationwide organization or association for PICU Nurses. I often see them for NICU and peds in general, but haven't seen a PICU specific group.

Any guidance or suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Try the AACN, Americal Association of Critical Care Nurses. While it's not specifically PICU focused, it has a lot of resources for PICU nurses.

AACN has terrific resources both in print and on CD for pediatric critical care. I spoke at their National Teaching Institute on Chicago on Monday and have attended a number of lectures on a variety of peds topics there as well.

There's also a Yahoo listserv, PICU International, that has an archive of discussions that mianly revolve around best practice and equipment usage that you might find helpful. I don't have the URL at hand, but it's easy to find.
