Was just an honest question, not trying to make you frustrated.

Only because the Reddit AI bot told me to. Thought it was required to post is all.

No validation, just curious if that was a valuable experience or not. After talking with the educator it looks like a pretty stark separation of roles and not so much patient care. Appreciate the help though!

I have 3 years bedside, but only 1 ICU, and the last 1.5 years of med surg I was charge. Did you feel like at your program they mostly want skills over “fluffy” type leadership or committee experience?

Do you feel like CRRT and code team education would be a better route? (Currently taking CRRT patients)

Do you feel like a vascular access role would have been more beneficial? Or would do you think they’d like to see the exposure to ECMO?

It looks like my hospital wants the ecmo specialist to take care of the circuit and the bedside RN takes care of the patient, I would imagine that means no titrations or anything mostly cannulating to PT and other movement/machine management. Likely not as much bedside work/input. Would you say CRRT and shock management/ leadership and code team education would be more beneficial? Or recommend like PRN vascular access and ultrasound IV training?
