I spoke with a recruiter at a large hospital near me yesterday about externship positions, and when she asked what my ultimate dream job was I said I wanted to work in ICU, preferably doing cardiac care. After speaking for a while (the recruiter is also a nurse) she set me up with an interview for an externship in the CVICU, literally my dream job at that hospital which is known for their cardiac care. I had originally inquired about an externship on a regular cardiac floor, but she said since this was where I ultimately wanted to be, “why not go for it”. So she forwarded my resume and transcripts to the nurse manager in the CVICU, who wanted to set up an appointment.
