ICU Nurse Jobs Overview

As an ICU nurse, you collaborate with a team of medical specialists to assess, treat, and care for critically ill patients. This position is not for the faint of heart. Stakes are high, the pressure is constant, and the pace is relentless — and that’s exactly why many nurses love this type of work. If you’re in search of ICU nurse jobs, you’re in the right place.

There are ICU nursing jobs available in specialized areas, like pediatrics, neonatal, and cardiac. You can also focus your search based on the type of schedule you want: full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, or per diem work. You can also find ICU travel nurse jobs if you’d like to work in locations where your skills are in especially high demand.

Here are some of the more popular ICU nurse positions:

Start searching IntelyCare for ICU jobs that would be a good fit for you.

ICU Nurse Education and Skills

Whether you’re planning a career as an NP, RN, LPN/LVN, or CNA in critical care, to qualify for an ICU nurse job, you must complete a nursing program from an approved institution. However, employers may prefer registered nurses to have a bachelor degree in nursing (BSN) rather than an associate degree in nursing (ADN).

After you pass all exams needed to obtain your nursing license or certification, you’ll want to get certified in basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). Registered nurses can consider pursuing certification as a critical care RN (CCRN), as this can both prepare you for the intense demands of the ICU and make you more attractive to hiring managers. Additional certifications that are relevant for ICU jobs include:

Job applicants of all levels of nursing may need to have prior critical care experience for certain ICU nurse positions. Check out a sample ICU nurse job description template to see what might be expected for RNs.

ICU Nurse Resume and Cover Letter

Having a solid ICU nurse resume can help to differentiate yourself from the sea of candidates. Make sure your resume reflects the requirements that you see in a particular job ad. For instance, if the ad says the preferred applicant will show “a commitment to continuous improvement,” feature that phrase in your resume summary.

It’s not enough, however, to drop a few words in your resume. In your cover letter, give an example from your career that supports the claim, like outlining the steps you have taken to accelerate your professional development.

Interviewing for ICU Nursing Jobs

In addition to having vast technical skills, ICU nurses must possess substantial critical thinking skills and know how to excel as part of a team. As a result, your job interview will ask you about these skills and other aspects of your character. Prepare in advance by reviewing ICU nurse interview questions. It can take some of the pressure off your shoulders and boost your confidence at the same time.

ICU Nurse Salary

The average annual salary for an ICU nurse is around $85,600 for RNs. Your location, level of experience, and employer can make a difference in what you earn in ICU jobs as a nurse. To get a clearer understanding of ICU nurse jobs’ salary averages in your area, explore the current openings on IntelyCare for your license type.
