Congratulations! I just accepted mt dream job offer after 1.5 years of nursing (1/2 hospice and 1/2 long term acute care) The new job is in a big hospital in the CPCU (cardiac progressive care unit) \IMC about 1/2 of the patient will be from open heart surgery and the rest a mix of IMC. I'm excited too. Good pay patient ratio of 4:1 ( it looks like this is standard and a good training program..

Yay for us!

I am graduating in May and want to work in a CCU setting. It is nice to hear that new grads can work in these areas. I wasn't sure if they would want experience or not.

Specializes in ICUs:Medical, Surgical, Neuro, Trauma.

CONGRATS! I was also a new grad in a CCU and now will have 4 years experience in May. It is a great great learning experience and you will love your job. Where are you living by the way? I heard that a lot of places were slowing down their new grad hires in critical care units.

Thank you! I am in Houston in the TMC. It seems like a pretty good amount of new grads got hired into ICU positions from my nursing school.
