Nurse versus technician: the dilemma of intensive care nursing.

A Pickles

Abstract

A definition of technology and technician is offered, relating this to nursing in the intensive care unit. It is evident that technicians are focused upon the goal of providing care to the machinery. Intensive care nurses possess attributes of the technician, but also take into account the wider issues surrounding the patient. A conclusion that technology is a means to aid the nurse during his/her nursing practice is drawn.
