I am currently a student, hopefully graduating in May with my ASN. Lately I've been putting a lot of thought into where to apply and what jobs to seek when I'm done. My goal is to continue my education and get my CRNA, meaning that I need some critical care experience. It is my understanding that ICUs don't typically hire new grads and the best place to get experience is cardiac units. There are a few hospitals within range of where I would like to be with cardiac units, but what I want to know is, how do I know that they are good places to work? Money isn't an issue. I've worked in a number of different places for my job as a CNA and in clinicals and I would much rather take a paycut and have a good unit to work for around pleasant people who I enjoy. Is there any way to know this beforehand without actually working there? How do you find a good place to work?
