I See You Nurses

ICU nurses frequently suffer from a slightly different version of Being Fabulous than ED nurses.

Many ICU nurses have never worked even one day on the floor, so they don't understand a floor nurse's job.   It's easy for ICU nurses to develop a superior attitude and not realize that one kind of nursing is not better or worse than another, they're just different.  Like apples and kumquats. 




ICU nursing is like trying to organize, prepare and serve an endless course dinner to two gourmets at a four-star restaurant.  You  may only have two customers, but they're so discerning there's no room for error.
