All Children's PICU

hello all,

i was wondering if anyone could give me any information about the picu/cvicu at all children's in tampa. specifically nurse to patient ratio, education for nurses, average surgeries per week, how many cv surgeons are on staff, do they care for trauma/non accidental patients, what is the average acuity of the unit?

or really just any information at all. what is it like working there? i have heard many people love it....but not really why? thanks so much!

    Umm, I know of a few new grads who were hired right away to work in the Peds Er and PICU at All Children's. They both got like some 20 something week orientation. The girl in PICU said that most of her patients were chronically ill children. Just saying. I don't really know much else about it though.

    Picu they shoot for 2-1 unless higher acuity sometimes 3-1. There are a lot of pts that are pretty stable and could go to the floor but they still go to PICU because they ALWAYS go to the Picu and the intensivists know their condition the best. Cvicu is 2-1 or 1-1 never seen a triple there. This is just from clinicals there.
