Critical care nurses provide essential care to acutely ill patients and their families. It’s a specialist role that requires collaboration with the interprofessional team, so patients can receive the highest quality care when facing potentially life-threatening conditions.

 

The Specialist Certificate in Critical Care Nursing expands the knowledge and understanding of theoretical concepts related to critical care nursing that are required to care for patients in the critical care environment.

 

Drawing on current evidence-based practice in the care and management of the critically ill, this course will equip you to assess and manage seriously unwell patients. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your critical care knowledge, reasoning and problem-solving skills to analyse and plan delivery of specialist nursing care in the current healthcare context.

 

Offered 100% online, this flexibly delivered course will enable graduates to enhance their scope of practice as a registered nurse in accordance with either the Emergency Nursing or Australian College of Critical Care Nurses Practice Standards.
