EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL CARE NURSING PROGRAMME COORDINATOR
“Critical care nursing is that specialty within nursing which deals specifically with human responses to life-threatening problems. Emergency and critical care nurses apply direct interaction with patients, families and groups of patients to promote health or well-being and improve quality of life. These interactions are characterized by a holistic perspective in the advanced Medical and Nursing management of health, illness and disease states.
