from CCL to CCU ?

Hi! I have been working as a RN recent 4 years!

I have worked for telemetry for 2.6 years ( patients right after Cath lab_PCI, TEVAR, Pacemaker, extubated open heart surgery patients) and then, I started to work at Cardiac cath lab for 1 year and also I did on-call which means that I had to handle actively ill MI patients..of course a lot of CPCR

and I got CCRN certi at Cath lab..

Now, I want to work for CCU or CVICU.

Do you think that I can move to ICU ?

Thank you

    Yes! You will be great at the frequent moderate sedation/procedural components of CVICU and will learn the ICU work flow and daily management of the invasive devices in a good orientation. Go for it!

    I had a patient come from surgery to icu with a levophed off the pump and crna could not tell me what the patient had been running at in surgery because they had run it by drip and adjusted it with a roller clamp based on patients blood pressure in surgery. never seen this before from surgery and we had a time get blood pressure back up after being practically off for transport, it was laying in bed the with patient. It seems unsafe to run levophed off- pump, especially during transport. Any thoughts on that incident?
