Thanks! I am in contact with a recruiter and I asked about waiting till then end of the year to apply, but he said he thinks I have a good shot at a couple of the hospitals. I didn't realize how much stuff we actually do until I tried to put it on paper. I want to apply to baylor's crna program one day so I'm willing to relocate (I want to move for personal reasons too) and I want to get good year of experience down there too before I apply. Thanks again!

Hello Everyone, I'm currently trying to relocate to another city. I have about 6mo of ICU experience as an RN and over 1yr of experience in the ICU as a nurse tech in nursing school. I'm having trouble with my experience section as an RN. I want them to see our hospital does care for a wide variety of patients, but I feel like this is way to wordy with too much information. I put this much because I want them to see how much experience I have so far. I appreciate any and all the help. Thanks!!!
