best ICU for CRNA school?

Published

Specializes in Anesthesia.

i am currently in a ICU new grad program in a hospital that has five ICU's. at the end of the program (six months) i will be placed in one of these units:

Medical

Surgical

Burn/ Trauma

Neuro

and Onc.

Either one better than the others?

It is a level one trauma.

thanks for the input!

Medical, surgical and burn/trauma are probably your better bets. Make sure your unit will give you great cardiovascular, pulmonary, vasopressor management, vent managemt, hemodynamics experiences (I'm sure at a level one that most of these ICUs should give you what you need - but look for these types of patients specifically)

Specializes in Anesthesia, CTICU.

IMHO, in the absence of a cardiovascular surgical icu option, I'd go for SICU, esp since it's a L1 center.... good luck!
