IT’S ICU WEEK! This incredible team of professionals are truly a close knit family, which shows in the quality of care they provide in the Grace ICU.
They are extremely energetic and focused on the details of each and every ICU patient every moment of the day. Lead by Critical Care Nursing Manager, Trudy Nernberg, R.N., M.N., CNCC (C), the ICU nurses and doctors take care of the sickest, most critically ill patients in our hospital, including COVID-19 patients who are in an escalated condition. Patients in ICU need and receive one-on one attention, and their status is constantly monitored and assessed.
Several of our ICU nurses hold extensive experience (10-20 years), but the newer ones have come on the job by gaining at least one year of experience in acute medicine, surgery, cardiac, or emergency care nursing, have completed an EKG course, take six months of intensive training, and then receive specialized orientation. ICU patients may have high oxygen requirements (which cannot be administered on the ward) or need complex medications, which ICU Nurses are also trained for.
When the doctor needs to know about the patients’ condition, ICU nurses are the voice of the patient, as sometimes they cannot speak for themselves.
RNs Johnabeth, Gerlie, and Ruth provided some details about why they chose to be ICU Nurses. They said they love the idea of being the patient advocate, approaching care challenges in a different way, and the need to take care of all of the patient’s systems at once. “You have to use your training, get out there, and give it all you’ve got!” They say seeing their extremely ill patients progress positively is an incredible feeling, and it’s so meaningful to them to know they’re doing something good for someone in need.
The Grace ICU Team are very supportive of each other, and they are there for all of us in critical times! #CICU2017 #CACCN #criticalcare #gracehospital #gracehospitalfoundation #winnipeg #manitoba ... See MoreSee Less

Some do's and don'ts for the little goblins, zombies, superheroes, etc., chomping at the bit for bags full of candy as Halloween nears.
