Hope ya don't mind answering my question about my experience. I work in a CVICU and the acuity is high. We take care of the sickest heart pts in the state. Nine times out of ten we have two fresh post-op hearts we care for. Some come out on 8-12 different gtts and an IABP, and we will also have another fresh heart that we will be trying to extubate or will have an IABP. The only 1:1 is a heart or lung transplant or a LVAD or BIVAD and usually only the first night or two. We may have two pts on 8 different gtts and titrating both and also be attempting extubation. It's like this most shifts. GRE > 1100, GPA =3.5, OR experience >4yrs. How does that stack up to traditional applicants?
