I am an ICU Nurse!!!


I just wanted to announce, because I am so thrilled, that I have been accepted as a new grad for an ICU internship. I have enjoyed reading the posts in this section for some time now, and can't wait to contribute from personal experiences from this point forward.

I am dancing for joy!!!

I am not sure if you were asking me for advice or others. Since there is quite a bit of time from now until you start, I would begin to review the body systems. Just ensure you have a good solid base to work up from. I am sure much of this will be refreshed in your program, but it can't hurt to be ahead of the game. Maybe even get a CCRN study guide. Review drugs common to the ICU. Again, I think any prep work to make you look sharp and on your toes can only help you.

Good luck!
