Friends of steemit, receive my greeting and at the same time wish you the best of successes.

The UCI Nurse

Working in an intensive care unit where work is to be together with the most critical patients, caring for and protecting every detail that can turn life into death is the great challenge. Where thousands of nurses worldwide day and night we are prepared to work with high vocation and acquiring in turn the most current knowledge that modern medicine demands to fight against death.

Nurses who only dedicate themselves to nursing education, not even nursing will know, since the applied sciences of nursing goes beyond the scientific knowledge of nursing, to the social, psychological, political, administrative, humanistic among other sciences. .

When a patient enters an ICU "you do not lose a single minute". The nurses in these critical areas should be experienced professionals, to face any pathology that may arise and as we say here in Venezuela apply encimoterapia (be on top of the patient), until he achieves hemodynamic stability.

Day and night at the foot of a bed

The patients transferred to these units arrive immunosuppressed, monitored and intubated. They are surrounded by high technology: lights, monitors, sounds, mechanical ventilation equipment and perfusion pumps, that when patients wake up alert, disoriented, communication and understanding is fundamental, through non-verbal and verbal means that the critical care nurse should employ. At that time they are usually shaking hands to feel the human warmth, they talk to your ear, in cases even if you need to sing songs, jokes are told, music therapy is applied or any technique that is valid for them patients recover their lives and get well out of these units. Similarly at the time of caring for the patient, so that this does not put resistance to them.

"Every person who enters an intensive care unit is between life and death."

So that taking care of any and every detail makes it possible to save or die a patient, in these units so, the care must be day and night at the foot of the bed.

The majority of intensive care patients recover satisfactorily, if they are attended on time and care is taken for any detail, which can highlight the complications, so that our work to the day makes us ** Angels without wings, which we work Day and night, for the health of our patients **
