I recently interviewed for a Neuro ICU RN position in a level I trauma center in pittsburgh. I am really excited about the position, but I hope to eventually go to CRNA school and I am worried about if schools will consider NICU as good enough experience. I have seen threads where some people say NICU is good experience and others saying that it isn't. The unit that I interviewed on has an Interventional radiology OR on the floor and nurses are trained to take their patients to the OR and assist there if needed. The nursing manager that I interviewed with said that I will need to get comfortable with conscious sedation in that role. Do you think that this will make my NICU experience more competitive? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

I applied to this program about 2 weeks ago and my application is under consideration. I am also applying from out of state and I am hoping to be placed in an ICU. I am so excited about this program!

Hi Guys, I was recently accepted into an accelerated bsn program that starts in the fall of 2019. I did take Anatomy and Physiology as prerequisites but my course was online and I didn't get as much out of it as I hoped. I know that a strong background in these courses is important as the curriculum will build off of them, so I would like to review them myself. Does anyone have suggestions on the best books to buy to reteach myself A+P? Thank you in advance for your help!

I was just accepted to the program today! I am very excited. I'd also love to hear what a typical day/week looks like
