Is ICU Stepdown considered experience

Published

Does anyone know if the ICU stepdown unit is considered experience for admission into a CRNA program? All comments welcome.

Good for you! From everything i've heard, ICU nursing and CRNA work is apples and oranges, so they teach you what you need to know from the ground up anyways.

...Depending on what you consider the "ground." There will certainly be expectations of all SRNAs. What should be expected is the center of this discussion, and I think the conversation has validity. CRNA school is obviously not entry level.
