Rapid Critical Care Training for Nurses Deployed to Intensive Care Units During the COVID-19 Surge

CONCLUSIONS: The rapid training program provided basic critical care knowledge for nurses in temporary ICUs, but experiences differed significantly between those deployed to temporary versus permanent ICUs. Although participants believed they provided safe care, nurses with no critical care experience cannot be expected to learn comprehensive critical care from expedited instruction; more formal clinical support is needed for nurses in temporary ICUs. Rapid critical care training can meet emergency needs for nurses capable of providing critical care.PMID:38424011 | DOI:10.4037/ajcc2024922
