Good Morning all, I am about to start my nursing career in the Cardiac ICU. I interned in a MICU before for any critical care nurses I have two weeks til I start what topics should I review so I make a good impression and am well prepared ? Thank you all and I am very excited to gain wisdom from you

Thank you your advice means a lot question would telemetry help me be competitive as well since you are the in between for the icu and progressive care

Good morning, I am a soon to be new grad nurse I am a prior Marine and am also the valedictorian of my cohort it as an adn program I am also interning in the ICU I interviewed for two positions at Hopkins for the ICU floor and telemetry I was offered a job on the telemetry floor but the ICU said they want a bsn and it’s very hard for a new grad to get in despite my experience. I am looking forward to telemetry and working on my bsn but I wanted to ask what can I do to be more competitive for the ICU while I am working? Are there recommendations for nurses on how to transition to the ICU? Please let me know Respectfully usmc2rn89
