The next two weeks I'm working clinical at Spectrum Health in there critical care unit. There are many c.c. units, but I'm purposely being vague to NOT violate any rules.
There's so much to know about these patients' conditions. Lots of extra training if I ever decided to go this route as a career. One thing my instructor said was their "normal" was not normal in other settings. Been very interesting. These patients are very sick. What's difficult for me, is that I can't do much to cure these patients. On the med-surg floor, I will see progression and send them home, sometimes even wheeling them out to a car. Critical care is crazy! So many machines. It takes a physician doing something major to help these people.
