ICU RN Jobs Overview

ICU registered nurses are essential parts of every critical care team. On a given shift, an ICU RN — also known as a critical care RN — manages complex medical equipment, monitors progress, and executes care plans for acutely ill patients. Many ICU RN jobs include central line care, artificial airway management, arterial blood gas interpretation, and patient education, among other tasks.

Ready to begin your job search? IntelyCare is the place to start. You’ll find part-time, full-time, contract, temporary, and per diem openings, whether you’re seeking a position on a general or specialized ICU unit, such as pediatric, cardiovascular, neurological, or neonatal intensive care. Explore the latest openings on IntelyCare today. You can also check out related roles such as PCU RN Jobs and med-surg RN jobs.

ICU RN Skills, Education, and Certifications

To work as an ICU RN, you’ll need a nursing degree from an accredited institution and an active RN license in your state. Keep in mind that some employers may prefer candidates who have a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) rather than an associate degree in nursing (ADN). There may also be minimum clinical experience requirements, especially on specialty units.

You may also need to obtain certifications before applying, though some employers will allow you to complete these requirements within a set timeframe after you’re hired. Common certifications for ICU RNs include:

If you’re applying to a specialized ICU unit, you can set yourself apart with specialty-specific certifications, including:

While you’ll certainly need top-notch clinical skills to work as an ICU RN, your soft skills will also come in handy. ICU RNs must provide compassionate care, show empathy, and communicate therapeutically, since they care for patients who are experiencing some of their most difficult moments.

Resume and Cover Letter for RN ICU Jobs

To distinguish yourself from other candidates, invest time and effort into crafting your ICU RN resume. Carefully review the RN ICU job description to identify the key skills they’re looking for. For example, if the employer wants an RN who can "collaborate effectively to provide quality care," make sure to incorporate that exact phrase in your resume.

In your cover letter, try sharing an anecdote that demonstrates your interpersonal skills. Tailoring your experience to match the specific responsibilities of the job can show your attention to detail and prove that you would be an asset to their ICU.

Interviewing for Registered Nurse ICU Jobs

ICU nurses need preparation and poise on the job, so make sure you bring a high level of preparation to your job interviews. This is your moment to show the hiring manager that you’re conscientious, empathetic, and able to handle high-stress situations. Familiarizing yourself with typical ICU nursing interview questions and practicing your answers can help you shine on interview day.

Salary for ICU RN Jobs

The average annual salary for an ICU RN is about $86,100 per year. Your exact salary will depend on a number of factors, like the location, employer, and your years of experience. If you’re looking to relocate for higher pay, check out some of the top-paying states for RNs:
