Hi Sir, Do you think the skills learnt from LTACH is very helpful with transitioning to actual ICU department? Because my ultimate goal is move to ICU thanks Sir

[@nursegeematus8887]

Definitely, it’s actually considered stepdown unit so the level of care is almost the same as icu👍

[@wingsumlam8405]

Thank you Sir! I’m applying for kindred LTACH. Please put more videos about LTACH career pathway - looking forward to it

Thank you sir, I was a Neuro-Surgical ICU nurse and transferred to MS/Telemetry because I am not used to handle multiple patients. I hope I've made the right decision. Can you list other commonly used drugs, cases, skills needed? I've noted the meds you've mentioned. I am also for a wound care training. Thank you, sir! Shared you channel to my friends. :)

[@nursegeematus8887]

Do u recommend po b na may nursing experience talaga bago sumabak sa US ? Or kaya naman maski wala kc nay orientation naman?
