will accept er as critical care

some crna schools have certain icu units that they prefer (usually surgical and cardiovascular). other schools aren't as concerned with the unit you worked in as much as they are the type of experience you had, and the level of comprehension you have walked away with.

these schools will accept emergency room / emergency department (er/ed) as long as the unit is a level one trauma center. keep in mind that you're always better off with a more well rounded experience base, and just because a school accepts a certain type of experience, doesn't mean it's their first choice for an applicant.
