[Intensive care nurse in 2021, from expertise to recognition]. / Infirmier de réanimation en 2021, de l'expertise à la reconnaissance.

The profession of intensive care nurse has been in constant evolution since the 1960s. The technical nature of medical equipment and the care of increasingly complex patients require a high level of qualification. The current health crisis has highlighted the difficulties of this profession and the lack of recognition of these carers. They are demanding a specialisation with a diploma course aimed at improving the quality of patient care.
