Education and Skills for Critical Care Nursing Jobs

Whether you’re planning a career as an NP, RN, LPN/LVN, or CNA in critical care, to qualify for an ICU nurse job, you must complete a nursing program from an approved institution. However, employers may prefer registered nurses to have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) rather than an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN).

After you pass all exams needed to obtain your nursing license or certification, you’ll want to get certified in basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). Registered nurses can consider pursuing certification as a critical care RN (CCRN), as this can both prepare you for the intense demands of the ICU and make you more attractive to hiring managers. Additional certifications that are relevant for ICU jobs include:

Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
NIH Stroke Certification
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist (RCIS)
S.T.A.B.L.E.
