Abstract

In France, unlike most other European countries, the speciality of critical care nurse does not exist. The increase in the skills of nurses, which is essential for the care of patients in these units, is not certified by any diploma. These positions are filled by general care nurses. The French Federation of Critical Care Nurses was created in 2020 around the project of recognition and valorisation of the specificity of the work of intensive care nurses.

Keywords: competence; compétence; federation; formation; fédération; infirmier; nurse; resuscitation; réanimation; training.
