   Gerlich8 replied to northcoastnurse's topic in MICU

   In Houston: we closed down our CV ICU on Sunday and Monday morning because of a low census. This is the first time this has happened in the three years I've been here. I must say, it was nice to be off for the International Fest.:)

    Gerlich8 replied to limonada's topic in New Nurse

    Good luck to you and I would recommend trying to find a job in MICU or SICU at night. The pt ratio is 1:3 or 1:2 and the night shift allows you to acclimate to your new job. Once you find the right place, you will be happier.:)
