CRNA Admissions Questions

[NrsGuy]

So I'm a nurse with 5 years critical care experience - I've done pretty high acuity surgical / trauma ICU, med Surg ICU and also Neuro ICU. I left the bedside for 5 years and now I'm returning to critical care because I want to prep for CRNA school. I've been offered a job at a smaller tertiary hospital in a mixed ICU (cardiac, med Surg, neuro) with a pretty decent acuity level...no balloon pumps or EVD's though. I really connected with the management team. But I've also been offered a job at a more prestigious hospital in their CTICU/CCU. I didn't really vibe with the manager - they were nice and kind but I really connected with the other ICU's team on another level. So I'm tempted to choose the smaller hospital but was wondering what all of you thought. Of course the priority is getting into CRNA school but I also want to be in a supportive unit where I have good relationships with management. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
