Sounds so exciting! I have a friend who went to fort sanders nursing school before it was affiliated with TWC, it was still a hospital program at that time. She loved it. I hope it's a really good program because TWC is crazy expensive. I noticed tha...

Could you tell me anything about the advanced nursing course? Really interested in that. Nancy said that few programs offer ICU nursing in the curriculum and that Id receive "extensive icu training"

I've heard that the program is heavy on clinicals, which I think is great. Have you gotten to the advanced nursing course yet? That's the one I'm most interested in. Do you feel like you are really getting the theory part as well in the program? I kn...
Has anyone gone through TWC-FSN nursing program? I'm interested in attending here and it appears to be a good program. Nancy, the advisor told me they give students extensive training in ICU in the "advanced nursing" course and that that's unheard of...

I noticed those Lee specific courses. I think I'm going to go to UT since they are very respected and their nurses are sought after upon graduation. Their nursing program is highly respected. Many people apply each year (roughly 800) and they admit a...

I forgot to add that Lee is just beginning their nursing program which starts this fall. I'm looking and applying for fall 2015 which would give them a year to work out the kinks. They also say that they will construct a nursing building which will o...
I'm currently looking at nursing schools and would like to know which one you guys think would give me a better nursing education. I'm having a tough time deciding. Look at the curriculums and compare. Any help would be appreciated! Lee is a private ...

I can tell you that I live about 40 minutes away from UTMC and they have a wonderful ER. It's one of the largest in the region with over 50 beds. They're also level 1 trauma and academic medical center. The staff there is wonderful and I've heard it'...

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I guess I should say MICU is what I'm interested in because you're right I won't know what I like till I get out there and do it lol
Brad2019RN2b replied to Brad2019RN2b's topic in MICU
As I've stated before, I know what an MICU does for the most part, but I'm sure there are things that I haven't heard about. I've been readings icufaqs.org. The reason I've already picked a specialty is because my grandmother was MICU RN. She told me...
Brad2019RN2b replied to Brad2019RN2b's topic in MICU
I know general things that an ICU nurse does but it varies from person to person so I want different people to explain what it's like in their unit and what they do. Just to clarify I'm worried about my grades getting into nursing school not getting ...
Hey guys, I'm new here and thought I'd ask a few questions. What do MICU nurses do exactly? What kind of certifications do they receive (CRRT, ACLS etc.). I want to be an MICU nurse so bad. In my area we have an academic medical center "The Universit...
