Hello! I am a senior nursing major at Kent State University. I have a few more weeks in my critical care clinical rotation and then I start my practicum with my nurse preceptor which is also in an Intensive Care Unit. I am just looking for some tips as I am looking to work on an Intensive Care Unit after graduation and passing the NCLEX, but overall I am very nervous. I feel like everyday I go to clinical and there is multiple things that are new to me that I have not learned yet and I am nervous that this feeling will never go away. I know it is impossible to know everything, but I am scared that as a new grad in an ICU I will not be able to provide the best patient care and will miss the important things. I am hoping I will be able to learn a lot and do a lot of nursing skills during my practicum, but are there any helpful tips or advice anyone can give me about starting in an ICU as a new grad?

Hello everyone! I am a senior nursing student that will be graduating with my BSN this May! I am interested in working in the ICU for a couple of years and then going back to CRNA school! My question that I have is do I have to work in the same state as the CRNA program I would like to attend? For example, the CRNA program I am interesting in attending is The University of Akron and the program requires you to have an Ohio state nursing license. Am I able to work out of the state such as Pennsylvania and then before applying to the program also obtain my Ohio license or should I work in Ohio for the couple years before entering the program? Sorry this question was wordy I just wanted to make sure I could get my point across! Thanks ahead of time for any answers!!
