Experienced med/surg RN looking to train in ICURating: (votes: 0) I think it just depends on the hospital. My very first job as an RN was being hired as one of six nurse interns (4 of us new grad, 2 with limited M/S experience) that would eventually go to ICU or PCU. They trained us for everything including ECCO, it was an awesome experience! Comment: If you're wiling to relocate to Philadelphia and work at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (ranked #1 children's hospital in US) the PICU will train you to work in ICU. (or NICU....but I work in the PICU so that's what I know the most about). Since you are experienced you would undergo a 12 week intensive training orientation and be assigned a preceptor for that time. You would attend supplemental classes and become PALS certified as well.
