Moving to ICU from ICU Stepdown

Hi!!! I'm currently working in a busy icu stepdown unit in a level 1 trauma center. i'm a new grad and plan on staying in this department for 2 years....including my extern time i'll have 3 1/2 years on this particular unit. I want to eventually work in an icu in another city....with 2 years as an rn, bsn will they take me straight into an icu position or desire me to work in a stepdown unit or medsurg...i know i could transfer to the icu in the hospital im at, but my goal is to move from my current city. I have acls and have been involved in several codes...we take stable vents and work with some cardiac drips..most of our patients are monitored..etc
thanks for your input
