ICU Nurse Education and Skills
In order to qualify for an ICU nurse job, you’ll obviously need a nursing degree. However, employers may prefer you to have a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) rather than an associate degree in nursing (ADN).
After you pass the NCLEX exam and secure a nursing license, you’ll want to get certified in basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). Consider pursuing certification as a critical care registered nurse (CCRN), as this can both prepare you for the intense demands of the ICU and make you more attractive to hiring managers. Additionally, you may need to have prior critical care experience for certain ICU RN jobs. Check out a sample ICU nurse job description template to see what might be expected of you.
ICU Nurse Resume and Cover Letter
Having a solid nursing resume can help to differentiate yourself from the sea of candidates competing for ICU RN jobs. Make sure your resume reflects the requirements that you see in a particular job ad. For instance, if the ad says the preferred applicant will show “a commitment to continuous improvement,” feature that phrase in your resume summary.
It’s not enough, however, to drop a few words in your resume. In your cover letter, give an example from your career that supports the claim, like outlining the steps you have taken to accelerate your professional development.
Interviewing for ICU Nursing Jobs
In addition to having vast technical skills, ICU nurses must possess substantial critical thinking skills and know how to excel as part of a team. As a result, your job interview will ask you about these skills and other aspects of your character. Prepare in advance by reviewing ICU nurse interview questions. It can take some of the pressure off your shoulders and boost your confidence at the same time.
