We are seeking a skilled Critical Care Nurse to join our team in the Emergency Department. As a Critical Care Nurse, you will provide critical care to patients in urgent or emergent conditions. You will work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, delivering immediate care to patients suffering from injuries, illnesses, or trauma.

Key Responsibilities:
- Triage and Patient Assessment:
- Perform initial assessments of patients presenting in the ER, including triaging based on the severity of their condition.
- Evaluate patient history, conduct physical assessments, and identify urgent health issues to prioritize care.
- Collect patient vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respiration) and other relevant data to determine immediate care needs.
- Emergency Care and Treatment:
- Administer medications, fluids, and treatments as prescribed, including intravenous (IV) fluids, antibiotics, pain management, and other emergency medications.
- Perform wound care, splinting, suturing, and other interventions as needed for trauma or injury patients.
- Provide emergency life-saving interventions, including CPR, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), and trauma care.
- Assist in resuscitation efforts, including managing ventilators, intubation, and defibrillation when necessary.
- Collaboration with Medical Team:
- Work closely with physicians, nurse practitioners, and other team members to develop and implement patient care plans.
- Assist with diagnostic testing, such as lab work, imaging (X-rays, CT scans), and electrocardiograms (ECGs), based on patient needs.
- Communicate clearly and efficiently with the healthcare team, updating them on changes in patient status and discussing care options.
- Monitoring and Documentation:
- Continuously monitor patients' conditions, noting changes in vital signs, mental status, and symptoms.
- Document all patient assessments, treatments, and outcomes accurately in the electronic health record (EHR).
- Ensure compliance with legal, regulatory, and hospital standards for patient care and documentation.
- Patient and Family Communication:
- Provide clear explanations to patients and their families about diagnoses, procedures, and treatment plans.
- Offer emotional support to patients and families experiencing stress or anxiety due to medical emergencies.
- Advocate for patients' needs and coordinate care with other departments to ensure timely interventions.
- Infection Control and Safety:
- Follow strict infection control protocols, including appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
- Ensure the ER environment remains safe and sterile for both patients and staff.
- Respond to potential biohazardous situations with proper precautions and protocols.
- Crisis Management:
- Handle a wide range of patient emergencies, from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions, using critical thinking and rapid decision-making skills.
- Manage high-stress situations effectively, staying calm while providing life-saving interventions.
- Prioritize care based on patient acuity and available resources, ensuring efficient use of ER staff and equipment.
- Patient Discharge and Follow-Up:
- Provide discharge instructions and explain the next steps in care, including medication instructions, follow-up appointments, or referrals.
- Educate patients on preventive measures and care after discharge, especially in cases of trauma or chronic conditions.
- Teamwork and Mentorship:
- Collaborate with emergency room staff, including physicians, nurses, support staff, and paramedics, to ensure coordinated patient care.
- Act as a mentor or preceptor for new nurses, students, and less experienced staff members, providing guidance and support in emergency care procedures.
