Hi Everyone, I'm graduating from my ADN program in May 2010, looking at my degree plan I only have 4 more classes to take along with 2 more clinical rotations, so getting close. I was wondering if anyone knew any hospitals in TX that offer internships in Critical Care for new grads? Currently I'm in central texas, but am willing to relocate if offered that oppurtunity. Right now I work for the VA, but they're actually on a hiring freeze and I know it'll be tougher getting into ICU there. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for the help, I was all for going into the service right after graduation, not even thinking about working or going to crna school before going in. that actually sounds like a better idea.

Hey everyone, I'm an RN student with about a year and half left of school. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help me with. So upon graduating, I'm planning to join some branch of the military, but I'm having trouble deciding. I actually want to become a CRNA, but I know I'll need one year of ICU experience before applying to any schools. Does the navy/army/AF have their own programs for nurse anesthesia school? Which branch is more in need of nurses/CRNAs? As a nurse, which would be the best choice? My last clinical instructor was a nurse in the army for 20 years and she told me to steer clear, she said that she felt that her friend who spent the same amount of time in the navy got so much more respect as an officer. I'm single with no family and dont mind all the travel that will come with being deployed or shipped off for now. I'm leaning toward the navy, but I'm still considering my options. Thanks for all your help!
