OHSU CVICU RNs out there?

[Fox_RuN, BSN]

Hey all,

I'm a current, experienced CVICU RN from the University of Michigan am looking to relocate to Portland and OHSU's CVICU.

I'm planning a trip back out there in March and have been trying to get a hold of the nurse manager via e-mail to set-up a shadow time just to make sure the unit would be a good fit before I start getting serious about moving. I e-mailed this past weekend and haven't heard back yet (is she difficult to get a hold of via e-mail? on vacation/leave? etc...?)

I saw there were job postings up now, but I'm hoping there will be listings May-August.

I have 7 years experience with everything from basic LVADs to ECMO, BSN grad from University of Michigan, SICU/CICU float experience, Ebola/BSL4 training, won a fellowship position and am currently publishing an article with AACN. I'm pretty sure I would be a fairly "turn key" nurse on that unit, but I just want to see the unit and hear candidly from nurses who work there about the unit. Also makes me nervous I haven't heard back.

Thank you!
