TOP TIPS to Become a NEW GRAD ICU NURSE!!

[@jeroomme]

For anyone that’s a student nurse or taking pre reqs for nursing school apply for PCT/CNA jobs! Right now I work as a PCT in the CVICU next month I’ll be a nurse extern THIS LOOKS AMAZING on an application my manager knows I’ll be graduating soon and has already offered me a job If you’re in nursing school, apply as a nurse extern or tech you’re more than likely going to get the job before anyone else when it comes down to you graduating/ you already worked there!

[@theCRNADrip]

jeroommme good advice, and congrats!!!

Did you have to get pct/cna certification?

[@idkagoodnameee]

@@user-nu3el2mo2w some hospitals will allow you to substitute completion of 1st/2nd semester of nursing school for a CNA license

[@keemp1273]

Agreed. I’m a float PCT and nurse intern in the ED. Interviewing managers loved it

[@panyapandabear]

I just got an ICU job in a level 1 trauma center in DC with only 1 DAY experience in an icu setting!!! Ps. I haven’t graduated with my ADN yet!

[@loneranger6748]

They aren’t lying when they say representation matters! I’m a black man in nursing school with ICU aspirations, love your videos man, keep up the good work ✊🏾

[@quelquun2018]

Black, male nurse was all I've been waiting for💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥😂

[@theCRNADrip]

Preciate it! 😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@bellarosarene2117]

I had an interview last week in SICU. THEY ASKED NE ALL THESE FOUR SCENARIOS. I should have watched your video before the interview. I am so regret that I just saw your video today.

[@bettysmith4527]

I tell everyone if your interview feels more like a police interrogation, you may not "fit in", so don't be disappointed if you don't get the job. A good interview should feel more like a natural conversation between yourself and the interviewer!

[@TroyBarrett-fearlessminds]

Everything you said was factual and very helpful

[@chynlee6557]

Funny i applied one week after I passed my exam. I have an interview this Monday .. WHEW!!! I am so nervousssss but that job is mine!

I LOVE your videos!!! They're so informative & filled with substance; not just rambling for 15+ mins! Patrick the wise guy ;) THANK YOU!

[@kiberenigestsebez6633]

i believe you are in America, and it is interesting that new grads go straight to ICU job

[@bettysmith4527]

Thanks for the video! I am not a new grad, but interviewed for a SICU job yesterday, and it sounds like it would be awesome, as they do ECMO and all sorts of cool stuff! Crossing my fingers 👍. Hoping everyone gets their nursing dream job!

[@2funkyfine]

Super solid advice! Applying now to an ABSN..getting through Pharma first🤓. I’m intrigued by CRNA because of the autonomy with bedside care, like you mentioned. Nailed it! Keep us posted on your progress too!

[@iheartsleeppeace8973]

Man, I wish I had seen this video several weeks ago. I hope in 3 months I’ll be ready...

What makes a CVICU residency so competitive

[@ywhistlee]

I'm a third year in nursing school and feel grossly unprepared... Did you feel the same?

[@ashovercash]

You. Are. Awesome! Thanks for sharing all of this, it really is so helpful and detailed.

[@theCRNADrip]

Ashley aww thank you!! Stay inquisitive, and soak up EVERYTHING!!

[@breiyannahjenkins5070]

Can you make a quick video about resume and cover letters for new grads who wants to work in an ICU

[@theCRNADrip]

I’ll keep that in mind!

[@thefiredmn]

Hey thank you for the in depth, well-articulated video. I’m working on passing my nclex but a goal of mine is becoming a CRNA. I’ve always been intimidated by the icu however that excites me to do it even more. I don’t have a lot of experience in healthcare aside from my clinical experiences. Here are a few questions that I have. Do you have any recommendations on gaining information specific to the icu? What positions would you go for before even applying for the icu? Did you feel comfortable after orientation and if not how long did it take you before you were? Thank you for your time.

[@jefalynellarma6172]

Thanks for this video, it is very helpful. Do you have any tips how to answer “Tell me about a time when you feel uncomfortable/ do not have enough info during your clinical.”

[@pambrook8018]

Great information! thank you!

[@sgmooijRN]

I sought out ICU CNA experience as a nursing student but I realized that it wasn't a right fit, so here I am applying for new graduate job on other ICUs. I feel silly doing it because the goal of working in the ICU as a tech was to transition easily into the unit. Thanks for this video btw. It's so packed with great content!

[@jonathanasigri9487]

I'm confused. U wanted to work in the ICU as a tech to get early experience and ended up not doing it but u eventually came back to square 1 except now as an RN?

[@sgmooijRN]

@@jonathanasigri9487 the current ICU I’m working in is not a great fit for me for several reasons. You know that there are many different kinds of ICUs right? idk what’s confusing about that. As a nursing student, you can work as a CNA in any unit, then as you are graduating, you can do your capstone in the ICU and eventually turn in your applications as an RN.

[@jonathanasigri9487]

@@sgmooijRN oh ok the specific type of icy wasn't good for u. I thought u meant ICU in general

[@wompwomp5525]

question: what about level 1 trauma centers that are public/county hospitals? is that good?

[@Heyitsbonny]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you 🙌🏻

[@light1436]

Does working in the icu as a CNA count as icu experience when applying for crna school?

[@shaquillapaige7271]

Hey, quick question if you were given the option between working at a level one trauma hospital that comes with a commitment of working there two years after residency, or would you pick the level two trauma with no commitment attached? I don’t want to waste any additional time, but I would also love that experience of working at a Level one center

[@theCRNADrip]

+Shaquilla Paige sooooo, I will st that I had the same “obligation” at my first hospital at a level one. And if I left I would have to pay back 5000 dollars, I left at 1 year and 4 months and never heard anything of it. And there were other people I know before me who left before the 3 years and nothing. So I would say go for the level one with the intentions of staying until you get into school and then leave if need be. I don’t think they can really charge you for quitting lol.. but that place could be different? Just make sure you read everything through but def go for level one

[@shaquillapaige7271]

Patrick Thomas thank you !! Lol, I had the same thought process when it came to being fined for leaving lol! You’re awesome keep the videos coming please!

[@applemyaRN]

I pulled up the residency program hospitals, All of them says in the requirements to have the license. Do u still apply. And say yes u have it when doing the application, even though u don’t? I was doing the app and it ask for an yes or no for it.

[@theCRNADrip]

apple mya I would just say yes? More than likely you’ll need it just before you start. It’s a New Grad Residency ?

[@applemyaRN]

Patrick Thomas okay yes it is. I thought I applied during school as a senior, but then thought I could get called before NCLEX....because our school has a paper processing 30-60 days after graduating. So during that time I would study for NCLEX... so I didn’t wanna get called without it lol

[@nelfi11]

Really, cvicu is competitive???

[@princess287love]

Yes

[@bettysmith4527]

Yes, ICU jobs in general are competitive, ER, and anything in maternal child health. Those are the highly desirable areas for nurses in general, especially new grads!

[@Nannased738]

What makes cvicu so desirable

[@MoncaAhwen]

please shave that beard down a bit

[@organizationalcommunicatio2957]

Thanks so much!
