Trying to Transfer to PICU

[ChristineN, BSN, RN]

Hi, I'm an experienced peds nurse (2 years acute care), and I am applying to transfer to my hospital's PICU. I am fortunate that the Children's hospital I work at offers a 6 month of training for experienced non critical care nurses coming into PICU for the first time. While I love the acute care setting, I want to learn more, and feel that the PICU is somewhere that I would always be learning something.

Anyone have any advice for a PICU hopeful? :redpinkhe
