An important component of our health system is to provide appropriate care for individuals experiencing a sudden health crisis. Often this crisis results in an individual requiring attendance to an Emergency department (ED) or admission to a critical care area such as a Coronary Care (CCU) or Intensive Care unit (ICU).<br/>To respond effectively to these needs, nurses require specific knowledge and skills to provide rapid and continuing assessment based on current evidence based practice in the ED, CCU and ICU. This unit extends on acquired nursing knowledge and skills, enhancing students' abilities to manage a crisis situation in critical care and generalist areas. -- Course Website
