The Registered Nurse coordinates and evaluates patient care within a multidisciplinary ICU team, utilizing advanced modalities like ECMO and CRRT. They also support the Critical Care Response Team to provide specialized consultation and care outside the ICU setting.
As a member of the healthcare team, the Registered Nurse coordinates and evaluates patient care and provides nursing care according to the standards of practice for Registered Nurses in the ICU. Using a multidisciplinary and collaborative team approach that is dedicated to the principles of patient-and family-centered care, our team of Registered Nurses treat highly complex patients using leading edge treatment modalities including Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies (CRRT). Our ICU staff also supports the Critical Care Response Team for the HGH, bringing highly skilled, specialized, critical care nurses, as members of a multidisciplinary team, to offer support and consultation outside of the ICU. As a Royal College Accredited training program and through our affiliation with McMaster University, we offer opportunities for learning and conduct world renowned research.
