Description:If you are a registered nurse in Ontario who wants to work in the dynamic, challenging, high acuity patient setting of an Intensive Care Unit, step-down unit or PACU, you should enrol in this Ontario College Graduate Certificate program.

This program approaches theoretical and clinical fundamentals of caring for the critically ill patient from a systems perspective. Caring for high acuity patients with cardiac, respiratory and neurological problems is explored in depth. Complex health situations are addressed in the classroom and in the Health Sciences Simulation Lab. Nurses practise communication strategies that help them deal with emotionally charged situations that arise in these dynamic environments.
