any comments or thoughts on the PICUs at these hospitals?
anyone currently working at either of these places?
good experiences or bad ones, anything would be appreciated.
comments on other areas of the hospitals would great as well.

im looking at doing my RT specialty internship at one of these hospitals next summer and i'd like to get a better feel for either one of them, especially the PICUs.

I am not familiar with CHOA-Egleston, but I am somewhat familiar with CMC Dallas. I don't work there, but I've known nurses that have. CMC Dallas has a very large PICU and as far as I know it's divided up into Trauma/Neuro, Cardio, Neonatal, and General Medical. They are a Level 1 center so they see everything. You would get a great experience there.

I worked at CMC Dallas while in nursing school and afterwards in their ED and PICU. At that time, 6 years ago, the PICU had very high acuity and they had just opened the Trauma and CV ICUs. If that's still the trend, I would think that it'd make an excellent clinical site.
