Nurse Abnormalities
MARCH 10, 2019
Two years into my career as a critical care nurse, I decided to take the plunge and test for my Critical Care Registered Nurse certification (CCRN). While a large part of me just felt it was the next step up the ladder to becoming a better and more advanced practitioner, I did have some concrete reasons behind my decision. The following are five reasons I decided to become CCRN certified.

A rehab/nursing home sent a demented patient for a fall. History of many falls, a hip fracture, and of course, on Coumadin. He hit his head. Automatic head CT. His family member arrived 20 minutes after the ambulance, in a mad tizzy, having been left to cool her heels in the waiting room until he could be triaged and assessed for serious injury. We almost never (aside from parents of minor children) let ambulance-follower family members into the treatment area right away.
