Hi This is my first time posting something and I would like to let everyone know that I really enjoy this site and I love reading all your comments. It is motivating. Good luck to everyone. Here is my question. I am almost finished with my BSN. I am debating on if I should take a job in ICU at a smaller local hospital close to my home for my experience or drive to a larger hospital for example OSU Medical Center and work in ICU for my experience. I was thinking of maybe working in SICU at OSU. Do you think working at a large, level one hospital would make much of a difference in getting into nurse anesthesia school? I guess I am asking do you think the 1 and 1/2 hour drive to OSU would be worth it? The closest level one trauma centers to me are in Columbus Ohio and Charleston WV (CAMC) both are about a 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive. I hope I made since. Thanks
