Can you stand another new grad question???

I know this repetitive BUT- I am an almost new Canadian grad considering ICU placement. As a grad in Canada we have extensive clinical hours- total of over 1700 hours in three intensive years. Almost 300 of those hours are ICU hours- as I was able to pick ICU as a pregrad placement and have been working along side a RN for three months.
I really want this- and I think that is half the battle in being sucessful. I am eagar, not a kid (mature student) and have some years behind me as a RPN ( LPN).
I know that I am case building BUT- what is the general feeling out in the field...am I nuts to want to go to ICU right off the bat. I had 300 hours of pregrad in a med-surg area before ICU and handled up to 18 pts at one time...so I understand the concept of organization and priority setting.
Thanks for any and all input!

p.s. I am looking at moving to Arizona where learning is facilitated- more so than local hospitals in Ontario at this point.
