Is the Pediatric ICU right for you? (my 3 reasons for choosing the PICU for nurse residency)

Hi friends and welcome to another video 💕 Today I’ll be talking through my reasons for choosing the Pediatric ICU (PICU) for nurse residency after graduating with my BSN. The process of picking a nursing specialty can be overwhelming (I’ve been there!) and I hope this video can be a helpful data point for anyone considering ICU nursing or in the process of picking a specialty. I’ll also be sharing advice that I was given during the nurse residency application process, my thoughts on being a pediatric ICU nurse thus far, and whether I think it could be a good fit for you too, among other things.
