I have recently started a position in the CTICU at Mount Sinai Hospital after two years on a medical surgical floor. The experience on my previous floor barely scratched the surface of what I need to know for cardiac surgery. The flow of cardiac and the ICU is a land and new language of it’s own.
I am so grateful to have this opportunity in the city that I love with people I care most about.
It’s been nine weeks or so… and I think this article describes what we do the best.
