Okay,so I'm going thru the Nurse Fellows Program at Banner and Im having such a great experience! Everyone is so helpful and its making my life so much easier being able to depend on them since school is so crazy! Ive just applied for an extern position at Thunderbird but I was offered at Good Sam CVICU, Yay! Ive heard such great things about both facilities but I love T-bird and I know Good Sam is a magnet/teaching hospital so its hard to pick!! Can anyine give me any opinions on experiences you've had at either???HELP!

Thanks, good luck everyone! :lol2:

Banner Good Sam isnt a true teaching hospital with residents around 24/7 like some hospitals, they just have interns and med students. They are mainly teacing for doctors doing fellowships, if you want a teaching hospital, check out Maricopa. I dont know too much about the CVICU, but I have heard that many new grads start there, and end of quitting or transferring to the other ICU's because it is so intense.

Which one is more intense? Maricopa or Good Sam?

I would have thought that Maricopa would be the most intense. Then again, I have always heard that County (Maricopa) is THE best place to get experience. Any thoughts?
