   I agree with Nishas22. Programs will accept you with minimal ICU experience, but it's rare... To supplement your GPA, definitely do well on the GRE. According to the director at FIU, studies have...

9. NIBP monitoring on same arm as the a-line?

   asdaylightburnsjax replied to Verbatim's topic in MICU, SICU
