Full Time Staff Nurse Intensive Care Unit. Royal Liverpool Hospital. Large 1200 bed, inner city teaching hospital.

The Intensive Care Unit has 13 beds and takes all intensive care patients, including trauma and post operative.
This was a 5 month personal development position. During my time in the ICU I developed my skills in caring for acutely ill patients for longer periods of time. The use of ventilators and inatropic support drugs were new skills that I undertook whilst on the ICU. This experience helped me to enhance my own emergency & critical care skills to enable me to improve my care for seriously ill or injured patients.

There are approximately 150,000 new presentations per year into the department. From walking minor illness to major trauma. As an inner city hospital there is a large amount of elderly patients presenting as well as homeless and transient people. Liverpool is a large multicultural city and as such can present health careers with many different challenges. Each shift has 17 nurses 5 junior doctors and 2 senior doctors.
My latest role as a team leader routinely included assessment and treatment of patients attending with all manner of injury/ailment. Supervising, teaching and assessing junior staff. Ensuring correct management of care for both my own and my junior staff’s patients. Managing an area of the department on a shift basis and deputising for the shift manager as required.

This was my first role as a nurse and here I spent my time developing both as a nurse and as an emergency nurse. I developed my skills of assessment and planning of care. Undertaking the care of a wide variety of patients, mostly of minor illness/injury and major illness (chest pains, falls etc). There was very little trauma.
