Today I'm excited to welcome Shakira Thomas, a BSN RN and certified critical care registered nurse. If you plan to become a nurse sometime, and have wondered if ICU might be the right specialty for you, or if you're simply curious to learn more about the nursing role in an ICU setting, then you'll love this episode. Nurse Shakira shares her wisdom on what characteristics a future ICU nurse should have, and what you can be doing right now as a nursing or pre-nursing student to increase your chances of getting an ICU position immediately as a new grad nurse.
