FNP seeking acute care / hospital training and job

[ExpensiveBSN]

I am an FNP student living in los angeles, ca. I am set to graduate early next year. My only aspiration currently is to work in an acute care setting such as ER or ICU as i find clinic work to be boring and would like to work 3 12hr shifts. My program focuses almost exclusively on practicing in a clinic setting and as such i feel unprepared to work in a hospital.

How would i increase my chances of landing a job in acute care setting? what certifications should i obtain? What books should i read to better prepare myself?
