Domanique, RN
I am currently a Tele/ SDU Nurse. The Virtual ICU Nurse Training Course has helped me gain my confidence and competence in ICU Nursing. During my time in the program Shakira and I discussed my path to CRNA school and how it's important to lay my ICU Nursing foundation. We had live sessions together that helped me connect the dots with some tough topics like RASS vs BIS. The content in her program are spot on for nurses who are ready to move forward with their career goals. Next up for me is ICU Nursing, which I already have a position lined up. Then, CRNA school.

Continue this program. Such an awesome refresher for future and current RN's. By far the greatest investment I participated in to confidently take on my career. Do not be discouraged, you are truly awesome! I enjoyed the Consistency, Willingness to teach, and Zoom recordings. Everything was great!
