Thank you so much for your advice. I live in Houston,TX and you are right, the TMC Hospitals are more likely to hire new grads in their ICUs. The reason why I developed this passion for the CVICU is precisely because the majority of my rotations were in that unit even for Peds. I will definitely include that in my cover later. Thank you for the time you took to respond to my question. I really appreciate it.
Hello, I'm replying to your question , or should I say commenting because I just posted a similar question. I'm graduating in two months and I, too, dream about working in a CVICU. I don't see any replies here, so I thought I would ask you how your interview went because I, too, don't know what to expect... Thank you and I hope you got the job =) Azu.
Hello, I am still a nursing student, I just passed my exit HESI and I have two management classes left to take this summer before I finish my nursing career. Ever since I started the nursing program I knew I wanted to work in the CVICU and enjoyed my rotations there like words can't explain. At less than 3 months from graduating I am extremely anxious, I've heard and know it's very hard to gain entry into an intensive care unit, but I truly believe I have the passion, drive, and perseverance that would make me a great CVICU nurse. I just want some help/guidance/direction to help me achieve my dream.... Thanks -Azu-
