ASPIRING CRNA

Hi! I am applying for CRNA school in the future and have two job offers and unsure which would look better on a resume! I currently got hired in CVICU at a trauma 3 hospital, but it has 46 beds, heart transplants, ECMO, LVAD, and all the devices. I just received an offer today for a teaching hospital that is affiliated with a university I will apply too in the future. It is smaller, 12 beds, more diverse population, but has no/less devices or heart transplants. I am unsure which would look better for an application. I came from a heart/lung transplant unit in Miami and feel that the university hospital does not offer as many critical patients, but that the name itself may help for applications.

    Congratulations! A word of advice for choosing the right ICU for CRNA : 

    -- The level doesn't matter as much as the acuity; If you're not regularly seeing ventilators, vasoactive drips, your patients get transferred out then it's not the best ICU for CRNA

    In addition to high acuity, you want to look for units that will give you the opportunity for leadership or committee experience.

     

    I hope this helps you in your decision making. 

    Cheering you on!!

    CSPA is an amazing resource! Strongly encourage you to find their podcast at the very least, but look into their paid memberships as well if you need any support getting your application / interview prep sorted. **I'm not affiliated with CSPA in any way, other than a podcast listener**
