New Graduate in ICU

Hello everyone,

I just found out I was accepted in to a BSN program yesterday and I am estatic. I am a male and my future plans are to become a CRNA. My questions: Is it going to be difficult for me to find a job in ICU as a new graduate. I really hope I can go straight into ICU(with some orientation of course), and I know it can be done, but how likely is it to find this job? I would appreciate anyones knowledge on this matter, and perhaps someone out there has done this before? I was also wondering how much a new nurse (BSN) usually makes per hour, and if they would like to, could they work a lot of overtime each week?
Thank You, BLT

Re: New Graduate in ICU

BLT is there any reason why you posted the exact same message in five different section of our forums?

We're happy to answer questions here, but that's generally accepted as SPAMMING and not acceptable.

Please don't do that again.

In answer to your questions, some hospitals will train new grads fresh out of school, depends on how desperate for nures they are. You'll have an extensive orientation if they do accept you.

No way to tell what you'll make, it varies by hospital, shift and part of the country. In a shortage situation, there's usually plenty of work, high wages and ample opportunities for overtime.

You can read about:

Hope that is helpful.

Regards.
