By the time I start in May 2008 I will have about 7.5 years of experience. I have not worked in the ICU, but have experience in around 15 ERs of varying levels as a Traveler.
Prior to nursing school I had worked in the OR as an assiatant to the RN for about 3 years. My interviewer appreciated this since she had done some work (as an RN) in the OR/PACU and ER prior to gaining her ICU experience for anesthesia school.

just curious to see how many years of nursing experience you all had before entering crna programs and in which types of icu settings.
