I just got accepted to anesthesia school and I have 6mo of floor, 2 years of ER and 2years of MICU. While the variety and knowledge gained in ER is great, critical care is a different experience with different goals than the immediate stabilization and move on goals of the ER. Having both was of interest to my interviewers, but I don't think I would want to practice nurse anesthesia without the knowledge I've gained in the ICU
