I just had my interview PICU. I was so nervous I'm sure they noticed. I forgot to even ask the question I knew I wanted to ask. What are the next steps? What does a day in PICU look like for a new grad? Instead.. I asked how many beds are there? Even though I freakin knew how many beds there are because I did the research extensively. I'm so mad at myself.
 

anyways....

Does anyone know what the next steps are? LOL
