ICU aspirations as a new grad but likely won’t have any experience
I’m currently an undergraduate student in an unrelated science major. I plan to attend an accelerated nursing program to gain a bsn after this degree. Due to prior obligations in my life during undergrad and the want to dedicate all my time to maintaining good grades in the accelerated program, I see there being a good chance I won’t work any sort of tech or CNA jobs prior to me taking the NCLEX. I say this because I have aspirations of working my first job in an ICU unit as a new grad and have heard work experience as a tech/CNA is a major advantage. If I was fully willing to uproot my life and move virtually anywhere, how realistic is it I find either an ICU position or residency to accept me? And how much would maintaining good grades in both degrees benefit me in finding a residency program or even job?
