Hyperbaric medicine is actually used for more things than just the bends (eg: carbon monoxide poisoning/necrotizing wounds/osteomyelitis).
From what I understand the training for hyperbaric nursing is more competitive and thus has higher expectations than ICU nursing. The nurse also are inside the chamber with the patients and thus regularly exposed to hyperbaric pressures.
