hello fellow professional nurses! i am currently an rn working full time in a general icu. half of our census is generally related to some sort of pump "cardiac" problem. i have found myself wanting to test my critical care skills in a higher acuity theatre, and have landed an interview for a position within a cvicu in a very progressive/highly rated hospital. i am pretty versed in rhythm strip interpretation and know my way around a 12 lead. i am very familiar with most cardiac drips and drugs used. with all that being said i don't pretend to know everything and look forward to the possibility of gaining a more thorough knowledge from very skilled nurses. i know that a cardiac unit is very different from what i'm used to. any advice on questions that might be asked as well as points to study prior to the interview would be greatly appreciated. i would like to be as prepared as possible. thanks in advance for the advice and to all reading this post.' rndavid
