I haven't posted on this forum in a while - mainly b/c I wasn't sure what direction I was planning on taking in my nursing career. However, after working in L&D for the last year with CRNAs and anesthesiologists - I have decided that I definately want to become a CRNA.
During my time in L&D - I still worked hourly in my CCU. I am thinking about going back full time in the ICU - however, I was thinking about doing CSICU rather than CCU. Our acuity in CCU for the last year has been quite low and I really want to work with sicker patients.
I am just afraid that it would be frowned upon to jump around so much by the admissions committees.
I worked two years in CCU before going to L&D - and still stayed hourly in CCU - and probably would still keep up a few shifts a month in the CCU if I went to CSICU.
What do you think? I would probably not apply for another year at least. So that would mean at least two years in the CSICU before starting CRNA school.
