clintcron: the reason i chose excela is i liked the small family type feel. I went to a small undergrad, and graduated with some of the most amazing friends in the world. the entire school was friendly with everyone else. So i liked the vibe excela was offering. I didnt want to be just another number in a big university. my gpa was alright....but I worked in CTICU at a ny medical center, we're the only unit where we didnt have residents, it was very nurse driven, did our own extubations, vasoactive infusions, swans, managed all lines, centrimags with oxygenators, IABP, code team, it was a pretty intense experience for my first job out of college, but totally worth it! PutToSleep!: yup this is my first interview, its in november.....i dont think im excited, just very, VERY nervous. i feel like i dont know anything! but just like you said, just going to do the best that i can. When's your interview?
