ACCCN CREDIT Course

Critical Care Readiness Education Improving Transition Care

Thinking about a career in critical care? Start building your confidence before you make the move.

Transitioning into critical care can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you're preparing for your first critical care role or exploring where your nursing career could take you next, having the right foundational knowledge can make all the difference. The ACCCN CREDIT Course is designed to help registered nurses build the knowledge and confidence to take their next step into critical care, with a stronger understanding of what to expect and how to deliver safe, evidence-based patient care.

 

Why attend?

Critical care is a challenging and rewarding specialty, but the transition can look very different depending on where you work. Developed by critical care experts, the CREDIT Course helps bridge that gap, providing a foundation to support your transition, whether you're preparing to enter a critical care environment or looking to strengthen your knowledge before pursuing new career opportunities.

Through interactive learning with experienced critical care clinicians, researchers and academics, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Build confidence for your transition with a better understanding of critical care environments and clinical expectations.
• Strengthen your clinical foundations in essential critical care concepts, assessments and therapies.
• Support safe, evidence-based practice by developing the knowledge needed to care for critically ill patients.
• Invest in your career development by proactively building skills and knowledge relevant to future critical care opportunities.
• Learn from experienced professionals and gain insights from those working across critical care practice, education and research.

 

Who is this course for?

The CREDIT Course is designed for registered nurses at any career stage who are:

• Considering a move into critical care, including intensive care and other critical care environments.
• Preparing to commence a critical care position or transition as part of a graduate program.
• Looking to build foundational critical care knowledge before applying for a role.
• Seeking additional education to complement a hospital-based transition program.

You don't need to be working in critical care to benefit from this course. Whether you're in your first year of nursing or considering a career change after years of experience, CREDIT can help you prepare for your next step.

 

What will you learn?

Explore essential topics including patient assessment, mechanical ventilation, haemodynamic monitoring, psychological safety, wellbeing and teamwork.

The course combines live, interactive online sessions with pre and post course online learning to help consolidate your knowledge and support your professional development.
