   My personal opinion would be get experience in an ICU first. Figure out what schools you really want to attend, and get in contact with them early. I didn't take any grad classes before I applied. And I was going to if I didn't get in or if they told...

   Yeah we did a hybrid type thing! We had classes Monday - Thursday and clinical every other day and an all day clinical day every week. But they made changes to that since we graduated. And it would alternate. One week clinical was M W F and the nex...

   I do not have a significant other so it is hard for me to tell you anything relating to it but I did know someone who was married with kids and they did it differently than some students with how they studied. What they did was wake up at 4 am every ...

   In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, I would say do the CVICU. Anesthesia programs love CVICU experience. And from what I have heard, you learn a TON! If I could do it all over again I woul 100% do CVICU. I did trauma ICU in a level 2 trauma ...

   Pimping isn't as intense as you hear! I remember being very nervous, and it ended up not being that bad. If you don't know the answer, just tell them that you don't know but would like to know the answer. As for studying on a topic I didn't kno...

    I actually didn't take that class, but I HIGHLY recommend it. So helpful for when you start the program, it helped people so much. Clinical days were different for us compared to the newer classes. I know that on 2 days a week now they go for full da...

    If I still had it, I SO would! But it was years ago. What I did was researched some good pharmacology books and bought a few and put together a guide that way. Basically I studied like mechanism of action down to the cellular level and looked up spe...

    I think any certification that can buffer your application is worth it! I definitely needed it because I was weak in other areas. I had a lower GPA so anything to buffer my application was beneficial! LOL Interview tips: I'd say research...

    I felt like in my program I did a lot of self-teaching. But that isn't because the professors couldn't teach, it is because I just have a different learning style and it's super important to figure out how you learn best early on. If I was not doing ...

    You're welcome! I got a few different certifications and joined committees on my unit to do that. I got my CCRN, TCRN, took TNCC, and also worked a little longer than the normal requirement (2 and a half years in ICU). I got accepted into MTSA in Te...
