Did you ever make any progress on this? Were your charges expunged? I am wondering the timeline on something like this. Thanks for your help

Thank you! It gives me good insight. I appreciate it!

I'm looking into two different job prospects. One hospital is offering a "rotating position" where you would learn/experience their cardiac/neuro/respiratory ICUs. The other is offering only a speciality of cardiac ICU. Has anyone had the experience with a rotating ICU to help me understand if this would be a wise decision or not? I love learning about many things, so on the surface this sounds amazing. I am stuck on deciding because the CVICU is what I originally wanted and it is with a large university/academic hospital. The rotating one is in a large hospital system. I can see benefits to both, but have experience in neither situations. Is "rotating" just code for overworking you, or do I limit myself by only doing CVICU. I am keeping DNAP/CRNA in my sight too, so is one better than another if I am wanting to get into an anesthesia program?

I would love to hear from anyone who has joined the Vanderbilt nurse residency. I was offered a position with Ascension St. Thomas in an area that I want, but Vanderbilt is also potentially going to offer it to me. I'm trying to compare the two and decide. Please help if you have any input.

I love your attitude and hope to get as many advanced certs to work with higher acuity. I will be going into the ICU new and I am wondering what is your recommendation for obtaining the advanced certifications? For the CCRN, what is the practical time on getting 1,750 hours required for it? Did you work a lot of overtime to do it quickly?

Are you going into their nurse residency program or just as a new hire? How did the interiew go? Do you mind sharing the type of questions they asked?

I am curious what track you are in. I am trying to get into their ICU's.

Did you take the Physiology course with MTSA prior to your interview? Also, can you tell me about your clinicals? I live south of Nashville and I'm wondering how doable the clinicals are throughout the program. How many days of the week/hours/etc. What's the farthest you travel for them?

Thank you so much! This was very helpful. I really appreciate your share! Thank you so much! This was very helpful. I really appreciate your share!

Thanks for the input. I'm not putting any cart before horses. Maybe my question wasn't written in the best way. I'm looking for information on BOTH types of career paths so I can understand them better to assess which one is a better path for me right now. The residency that I am looking at has you come in and select the learning track. One track is OR focused and one is ICU focused. I would like to hear more about both professions before deciding the track. I'd like to know why people like being RNFA's or CRNA's and what they like/dislike about their careers.

I'm 45. You're not old AT ALL. People are living longer. The way I see it? You are not even half way living yet. If you want to try the hospital, you do it!

I LOVE OR. LOVE it. I'm trying to decide between CRNA or RNFA. I am trying to plan out the track I want to follow for my nurse residency. Can you tell me more about both CRNA and RNFA and help me decide? Thanks!
