For my area of expertise, critical care nursing plays a crucial role in the healthcare system, especially during global health crises. With the COVID-19 pandemic, critical care nurses have been at the forefront of managing critically ill patients, providing life-saving interventions, and supporting families during difficult times. Critical care nurses can provide care in disaster areas, participate in global health initiatives, and engage in research that improves the quality of critical care worldwide. Professional development in critical care nursing can improve patient outcomes and overall healthcare quality. Advanced education and training can equip critical care nurses with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide specialized care for critically ill patients. Nurses are uniquely positioned to contribute to research studies due to their direct and frequent patient care experience. By participating in research, nurses can gather evidence-based knowledge to improve patient outcomes, develop new treatments, and advance the nursing profession. Nurse-led research can help address healthcare disparities in race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. Nurses can provide valuable insight and recommendations for interventions to help bridge healthcare access and equity gaps. Being active in research can also enhance nurse's professional development by promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
