Summary

I started in the CVICU when it was CCU, which was a 16-bed unit. It was only able to take 6 vented patients at a time. Only special skills were open heart and balloon pump. I have been part of helping this unit grow into a 24-bed unit, with many different specialties and caring for complex critical patients. As an ANM, I have continued that by providing continued education for advancement of skills.
