A qualitative, phenomenological descriptive research design was carried out to explore experience and challenges faced by PICU nurses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 registered nurses working in PICU,MKCG, MCH, Berhampur. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and insights by utilizing purposive sampling techniques from 20 October 2024 to 6 November 2024.
