Abstract:
The COVD-19 wave of spring 2020 had a major impact on French intensive care departments. The intense activity, the support of reinforcements in the acquisition of the necessary skills and their capacity to adapt made intensive care nurses key players in this crisis. Grouped together within the French National Federation of Intensive Care Nurses, they are campaigning to have the specificity of their practice to be recognised and for the creation of certified training in order to meet public healthcare needs not currently fulfilled.
