ICUNurseJess

I am a new grad RN. It is my goal to become a CRNA. I am trying to decide if I should take a job in the CICU at a small hospital, or hold out and keep trying to get into the larger hospital in the area. I may have to do 6 months on the floor at the larger hospital. I guess my question is, does the type of ICU matter when applying to CRNA school? If I accept the job at the smaller hospital I would probably switch to the larger hospital after a year. Then I have heard that, in my area, managers do not always want to take nurses that have only worked in smaller hospitals.

My question is for llg: I am in the same situation, very little work experience. My instructor told me to list on my resume where I did my clinicals each semester. For example: Semester 1 Oncology ABC Hospital; Semester 2 OB/L&D/Peds XYZ Hospital, etc. What do you think of that? Thank you
