Critical care internship...

Published

Hey,

Just want some opinions here: If a hospital offers 12 weeks (classroom didactic + clinical preceptorship) + 3 months floor 1/1 preceptorship. Would that be considered a good ICU program for a new grad? if anyone lives in the Miami area or not I'm talking about the Jackson Memorial hospital critical care internship...

Thanks for any opinions regarding this matter...

Sounds good to me. Similar to what I went through up here in NY with a hospital in Long Island. I don't think you can get a better preparation than that. Good Luck.

Where did you guys find out about hospitals that offer such training programs. I live in Orange County NY, I guess I could live in Long Island for a while. I was hoping to find a program around here or in upstate NY (around Albany) since hospitals around here don't seem to hire new grads for ICU. What's the name of that Long Island hospital?

LadyT618, where on Long Island? I used to live on Long Island before I moved to Florida and once I finish with nursing school, I'm looking to relocate back up there.

Okay, I just caught this after I sent a reply to your earlier post. I used to work at NSUH Manhasset before as a medical secretary. Great hospital.
