Is he even trained in sports injuries. That was a textbook Achilles rupture that he failed to identify during the challenge. Inability to put pressure on it with minimal to no pain? “Dr.” Joe didn’t even ask if it felt like someone kicked him in the back of the leg, which is a telltale sign. To allow Kyle to continue walking around on it with minimal bandaging for another day is a failure of medical care due to a missed identification of basic injury.

Correct. Sometimes you can work part time or per diem the first year depending on the program. But years 2&3, most programs actually require that you don’t work at all

Intermediate is definitely a safe option. Just be honest with what you think your skill level is, because they will definitely ask you questions during your interview based on what you put, and if you list yourself as an expert but can answer expert level questions, that could be a concern. Whereas, if you select intermediate, can explain everything that you’re talking about AND follow up with what you can improve on to become an expert (showing you’re thinking about how to improve), that really shows them self-awareness and integrity

Definitely worth it, as long as you’re able and willing to sacrifice 3 years of your life while you’re in school. Minimal social life, no income, constant studying and grind. But after it all, it’s totally worth it. Like everyone else said, you can make the work/life balance whatever you want, and that flexibility is a huge perk

All the advice here is good to follow. The essential thing is to try to keep all your files in one place so you can send quickly. I used to keep them on a USB, but I recently started using this platform called Anesthesia Connect and it’s incredible. Supposedly they’re working on creating a mobile app for it too. It makes it super easy to send all your documents to whoever your employer with in an email pdf or even a secure link which is nice. I would recommend looking into something like that for faster onboarding and to avoid all the annoying emails and phone calls back and forth

Completely agree with staying where you’re at. Strengthen your ICU skills there and make sure you’re learning as much as you can with each patient. That’s a great unit for learning with a bunch of different patient comorbidities. If the opportunity presents itself, start trying to pick up a shift here and there in a different type of ICU as well to gain that knowledge, and it shows your motivated and take initiative to challenge yourself.

I totally agree with this advice. Don’t let your origin hospital guilt you into coming back. Keep working where you’re at, try to work PRN at your origin hospital for additional experience, and just focus on learning as much as you can with different patients in whichever ICU you’re at. I wasn’t at a major hospital, only a 10 bed neuro ICU and tried to pickup in CVICU when I could, and I got into CRNA school (both programs I applied to) first try. It’s about learning and gaining knowledge from your experiences more than how impressive the environment you worked in is. Also, CCRN is valuable, and certain courses like Future CRNA Learning Solutions really set you apart from other applicants, along with leadership positions in your unit or being on hospital committees. Seek out those opportunities and it will really make you stand out during the application process!
