Intensive Care
Also known as critical care, this area is for people that are severely ill - on the brink of the cliff that separates life and death. They get much higher levels of staffing; at least one on one care, often more. It is important to understand the physiology of the body, especially cardiac, respiratory, liver and renal. Your job is to keep people alive, and hope their bodies can do the rest.
