    iculvr replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

  7. UT- Houston 2017 CRNA BSN-DNP

    iculvr replied to iculvr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello, I would say just get into any ICU you can. Neuro wouldn't be beneficial, more experience in ICU (3 years is a good amount), and SICU/ CVICU in a level one trauma hospital would help you stand...

    @fre2017 I think you and I are in the same boat. Have you been offered a interview yet? My application is submitted. Any idea of when the next rounds of interviews are (after April 15th)? Or if anyone...
