New grad PICU nurse resources

[newyorkrn, BSN, RN]

Hi PICU friends! I'm starting my orientation as a new grad in a pediatric ICU - I know most things are learned on the job, but looking for any great resources (books, YT channel, etc) or advice that might be helpful!

Any key things I should review? Certain patho, meds, things that are commonly seen, etc (I didn't have a critical care/ICU rotation during clinical, and my peds rotation was only 6 weeks, so I'd love any advice)

The floor is a med-surg PICU, the hospital has a separate PICU for cardiac/trauma/onc etc, but I do believe that we are considered overflow as well. Thank you in advance for any resources or advice!

Do you have any tips on getting a PICU job. Did you have experience in school?

I did not have PICU experience in school, only a 6 week peds rotation but no PICU or other critical care rotations. I made sure my resume stood out with anything that could be applicable in a PICU or critical care environment, and I happened to have a rotation at the same hospital but a different floor, so I was sure to mention how much I enjoyed my time at that particular hospital.
