8. Any Advice???

   no-pain replied to Sunshine0425's topic in SRNA

   If you think that you can get into an icu setting after you pass your NCLEX I would recommend you going the ASN route and work while getting your BSN. That way you will be getting the icu exp. necessary while finishing your BSN.
