Hey!! I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I'm about to start in the ICU to get some experience before applying to school. I would check out allcrnaschools.com to get a complete compilation of all the schools in the US, which shows each school's requirements, cost, what type of program it is, etc. it has been a huge help in helping me determine which school is going to be best, even though I still have no idea!! Haha
