Peds ICU adviceRating: (votes: 0) I'm not nervous really. But I'm wondering if anyone who has worked in that setting has any advice or resources. I have worked some in a Peds ER and I did really well in my Peds and OB clinicals, but obviously this is a whole different animal. Thanks in advance. ASK questions! Constantly until you understand. Buy a copy of the Essentials of Pediatric Critical Care and read, read, read, read. Practice your weight-based dosing math until you are proficient. Then keep practicing. I've been a nurse nearly 40 years, practiced in a lot of settings. PICU is by leaps and bounds the most challenging practice environment I've ever experienced. Comment:
Thanks for the advice, especially the book recommendation. I'm really excited for the challenge. I told them to give me their toughest preceptor so I'm ready when my time comes.
