My question is do nursing programs give their students some exposure in ICU/ER/NEURO/OR, anything involving critical care? I'm hoping to work in critical care when I graduate

I must be the exception to the rest in that I had an 8 week ICU rotation in my RN program, which was spent in a combined MICU/CCU. I had no intent of going into ICU, but it was a great experience, and I got to learn a lot, and saw some really sick pts.

I also spent 2 separate days observing in ER, one in an adult ER and one in a PEDs ER. The adult ER day was a mandatory part of my med-surg rotation, the PEDs day was optional that I volunteered for.
