Is neonatal or pediatric ICU experience acceptable for the one year ICU experience requirement?
Neonatal ICU experience, due to its limitation to the newborn, is not acceptable. Pediatric ICU experience is acceptable only if the applicant can demonstrate excellent experience in caring for children and adults who are on ventilators, have invasive lines, and have a variety of experience with medicated drips, as well as with medical conditions common to adults (i.e., COPD, PVD, etc.).
