Hello, I am in the Second Career program. I graduate in august. I want to work in the ICU (pref. CVCICU) when i graduate. What could i do to improve my chances. I have already gotten ACLS certification. I was thinking about TNCC or ATCN? What do you think. I have applied for couple of Tech positions, but no go. I have worked as a Medical Technologist for 2 years, but not much patient care. My next rotation is in the ICU so i'll try to talk/impress the nurses and manager. Thanks! My stats: first degree Microbiology, gpa:>3.5, future goal: ER NP or CRNA. I know ppl are going to say start with med/surg, but i think i can handle it.
