RN Surgical ICU

The SICU is a 17-bed unit focused on providing care to critically ill patients who are hemodynamically unstable. We provide the evaluation and treatment of illnesses that may lead to death or acute organ failure, or when there is a concern of imminent physiological deterioration. The SICU patient population includes medical-surgical, surgical, and traumatic injury patients. The RN, under the ANA scope of practice utilizes the framework of the nursing process to provide professional nursing care by incorporating patient-family centered care principles to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and discharge. The RN provides quality patient care under the direction of the Nurse Leader according to Corewell Health policies and procedures and recognizes the impact of nursing care and patient/family partnerships on patient outcomes. The RN partners with and utilizes patient/family input and goals in planning plan of care and develops teaching strategies for patient/family; documents education and learning appropriately in health record.
