I have been offered 2 jobs, both at a level 1 trauma center... MICU, and CVU. I know that the CVU is the better experience for becoming a CRNA..but the reputation of the unit at the hospital is very poor. They have not been able to retain staff. The MICU's reputation, however is really great. My end goal is to get into a good CRNA school and to build a strong resume, however I am not sure if I should risk taking the job in the CVU and being miserable to do this. I guess my question is, how much less competitive will my resume be in choosing MICU over the thoracic cardiovascular unit?
