PCU experience for CRNA school?

[TT_RN]

Will PCU count as critical care experience for CRNA school?

I work at a level 1 trauma hospital in the Cardiac Progressive Care Unit, though we get just about everything.

We work with vent patients, as well as drips such as cardizem, lasix, heparin, insulin, dobutamine, cardene, amiodarone, and nitroglycerin.

You need to contact the schools to ask. My PCU experience does count because we were titrating inotropes, had arterial lines and Swans...just wasn't considered ICU by the hospital because our only ventilators were chronic vents and we weren't technically titrating gtt's for blood pressure. Didn't matter for me anyways, I moved to a different state and now have CVICU experience.
