	About Critical Care Nursing
		A critical care nurse is a licensed professional nurse who is responsible for ensuring that acutely and critically ill patients and their families receive optimal care.
		Critical care nurses rely upon a specialized body of knowledge, skills and experience to provide care to patients and families and create environments that are healing, humane and caring.
		The PCCN credential is awarded to critical care nurses in progressive care, which describes areas referred to as intermediate care units, direct observation units, step-down units, telemetry and transitional care units as well as a specific level of care.

	EBM Syllabi - Introduction to Critical Care
		Critical care is truly transdisciplinary in that it is practiced by internists, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and surgeons, each with a particular focus based both on prior training and on particular aspects of the patients they treat
		Critical care is a challenge to the clinical researcher precisely because the key variables of disease, patient population, disease stage, therapy, and provider are difficult to define and these challenges increase the risk for bias.
		Critical care is ripe for the practice of EBM because we frequently diagnosis, prognosis, treat, and weigh risks and benefits of clinical decisions and these decisions often have significant impact of patients, their families, and the cost of care.

	Report to Congress: The Critical Care Workforce: A Study of the Supply and Demand for Critical Care Physicians
		Lifestyle issues associated with critical care as it is currently practiced present a barrier to increasing the number of practicing intensivists. Reimbursement for critical care is also perceived by those in the profession as inadequate, making critical care less attractive to newly trained physicians.
		Critical care remains an evolving specialty. A significant body of literature indicates that the current supply of practicing intensivists is lower than what is required to care for patients in U.S. ICUs. The evidence indicates that patient outcomes are improved when intensivists are available around-the-clock for patient consultation.
		The sickest patients in U.S. hospitals are cared for in intensive care units (ICU). The number of patients cared for in ICUs is projected to grow rapidly during the next decade as the average acuity of hospitalized patients rises with growth in the elderly population, who consume the greatest amount of health care services.
