Hey Rodney

I'm an old timer in the ICU/CCU business. You have a background I'd LOVE to see in Preceptorship with me!!! You know so much more than you might think you know! You've seem people 'sick but stable' and people 'sick and getting sicker'. This is so important.

Trust your instincts, learn what there is to learn. You'll do great.

:yeahthat:

Find a position in an acute hospital setting that interest you... and apply for it! If your hired, then make sure you have a good preceptor & a good orientation.

Good luck
