    Have you heard about Advance respiratory ICU ? I saw a job posted for that unit but I have never heard about it

    Did patients get transferred out of your CVICU once they were extubated and ambulatory? In other words, did they stay in your unit postop days 2-5 etc

    • @annaSRNA
      @annaSRNA  Рік тому +1

      Sorry I’m just now seeing this! The goal was to transfer patients out postop day one ☝️ if they were stable

    What if your hosptial has a respiratory icu and a medical icu?

    • @annaSRNA
      @annaSRNA  2 роки тому

      It's usually medical and then maybe thoracic/surgical-typically MICU covers respiratory diseases in my experience :)

  • @JellicleNat
    @JellicleNat 2 роки тому

    Would MICU be like med surg but x100?

    • @annaSRNA
      @annaSRNA  2 роки тому

      yeah kinda in a way haha! the surgical patients would go to sicu and then the medical patients would be in MICU

  • @sweetestvein4805

    • @annaSRNA
      @annaSRNA  2 роки тому

      In some facilities it does but not most in my experience!

    I transferred to neuro PCU and I had no idea how much the job includes assessments 🫤 I don’t like it now 😩 but it’s a good unit and not as heavy as my previous unit.

    • @annaSRNA
      @annaSRNA  2 роки тому +3

      yeah absolutely I hear you! PCU is super heavy--and very assessment heavy.
