“…Nurses, who are an integral part of the health care system, have an important position in the delivery of health care services (5). Especially in intensive care units, the nurse is the most important member of the care team, as he or she is primarily responsible for the care of the patient (6). Intensive care nurses are the team members who spend a long time with the patient in the units, notice the slightest change and treat, care for and, if necessary, perform the first intervention on the patient.…”

Background and purpose: This qualitative research was conducted to explore the experiences of nurses while opening a new intensive care unit. Methods:The semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine nurses working in the pediatric intensive care unit at Muğla Education and Research Hospital. This pediatric intensive care unit is a new unit that opened on October 19, 2020. Results:The results of the research consist of the nine nurses' experience while opening the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The nurses stated that they lacked supplies and equipment in the first days of the PICU that the situation resulted in a loss of manpower. The nurses stated that they were afraid and worried about medical errors and pediatric care because they had no experience in caring for children. All nurses were assigned to different departments due to low patient numbers in the first few months. It was found that the nurses felt anxiety and their motivation decreased because they did not know what kind of work environment they would find in this PICU and which patients they would care for. Conclusion:It is recommended to plan the number of staff for the unit according to the number of beds, and to employ these nurse professionals in the field of pediatric units before the PICU.

In this study, it is aimed to convey the experiences of surgical nurses during the epidemic. It is a descriptive qualitative study. The study group consisted of nurses working in the surgical services in Aydın. Before starting the research, ethical committee permission, institutional permissions, and verbal and written consent from the participants were obtained. Data were collected by in-depth interview method using nurse introduction form and semi-structured interview form. Eight main themes were identified in the study. These; physical, mental and social problems, family processes, inter-team communication and cooperation, nurses' suggestions, view of the profession, and unforgettable experiences. According to the results; they experienced fatigue, headache and nausea due to the use of personal protective equipment related to their physical health problem experiences; they experienced fear and anxiety of carrying the disease to their relatives about their experiences of mental health problems; stated that they isolate themselves from the society knowingly/willingly about their social problem experiences. They avoid meeting with their families about their family processes on the grounds of 'protecting them from themselves'; that they remained 'alone' in the field as a 'nurse group' regarding their inter-team communication and cooperation experiences; that financial and moral support should be provided by institutions during the pandemic; that their job satisfaction about their view of the profession has increased and they can say 'I'm glad I'm a nurse'; He expressed the meaning of being a “healthcare staff who gives hope” to patients about experiences they cannot forget.
