I took my first contract, what should I expect?

I took my first registry contract recently, and I start next week. The registry approached me and offered me a contract making well over triple what I made working staff at my local small hospital. I found out today they’re putting me in ICU, and I’m curious what I should expected from anyone else out there who has worked ICU as a CNA.

My entire experience is about a year working on a hospital med surge unit, in a very small, very shitty hospital. My new facility is a high end university hospital easily 10x the size. Needless to say, I’m extremely excited and extremely nervous.

I suspect I was placed there due to my experience being entirely acute care, I’m just curious what to expect in ICU in a large hospital and how it might differ from a medsurge floor in a very very small hospital. Any advice for travel contracts or ICU in specific would both be greatly appreciated!
