Are you currently in nursing school and considering working in critical care? Have you been working in another unit but want to start working in the critical care specialty? Then this video might be just for you! I've received so many questions about how I got started in the CVICU as a new grad RN and wanted to share my journey. From things I did while in nursing school, to how things are going after about 45 days on the job I am sharing it all! BEWARE: this unit is not at all easy and like anywhere you go, some days will be better than others. That said, it is so worth if it aligns with your passions and goals! Everything in this video is from my own personal experience, perspective, and opinion. My views do not reflect that of my employer. Topics I discuss are: - Perspective on starting in a high acuity setting w/ no experience - Things to consider - Things to look forward to - Job shadowing before graduating nursing school - Events I experienced in my first few days on the unit - Advice that helped me get here, that I hope can help you Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to ask me any and everything, I will answer to my best abilities! In the meantime, follow me on IG @nursejazmine
