These monthly classes are open to registered nurses who are new to the ICU at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. They are designed to enhance your knowledge and application of skills in the critical care setting.

The instructor will cover a different area of interest at each session. You may attend as many as you wish, but please sign up for each session individually as space is limited.
