   Med/surge RN wants to work in CVICU

   Thank you so much!!! actually my hospital offers a STABLE course. Do you think I should take it even though I don't work in that area? or ACLS and 12 EKG course is enough?

   Thank you so much for the helpful comment! Is there other ways to take some training courses that the hospital I work at does not offer?

   Med/surge RN wants to work in CVICU

   Yoonsung0506 posted a topic in Critical

   Hi all, I am working in med/surge, I am going to apply CVICU at a teaching hospital where they offer a fellowship/training program. So they don't required candidates to have prior ICU experience, but have to have direct patient care. It has been only 4 months since I started working in med/surge as a new grad so after getting 1 year experience I will apply apply apply!! In the "preferred qualification" section on the hospital website,"Based on position, one or more of the following courses including STABLE, smoking cessation counseling, basic critical care, or other specialty training courses preferred." My question is, as a med/surge nurse, am I qualified to take STABLE, basic critical care training courses???? and if so, where can I ? I am trying to do every possible things I can possibly do to make myself more competitive and get into CVICU. I will appreciate any suggestions or thoughts!!
