Critical care nursing, interchanged with acute care nursing, is focused specifically on patients with life-threatening problems.
Acutely and critically ill patients are those at high risk for actual or potential life-threatening health problems and those who require complex care due to their highly vulnerable and unstable conditions.
This Higher Diploma in Critical Care Nursing programme is designed to equip trainees with the right competence in knowledge, skills and attitude in providing excellent care of critically ill patients by specialist critical care nurse. Clinical nurse specialists are expert clinicians who are responsible for identifying, intervening, and managing clinical problems as to improve care for patients in critical or acute conditions.
