Nurse Extern

May - June 2019 • Mount Vernon, VA

What I liked

The externship was the perfect learning opportunity for any nursing student. It was more autonomy than clinical, but less pressure than an actual job as a RN. You are allowed to do so much more hands-on skills, while under the direct supervision of the nurse. Also, It was a paid opportunity.

What I wish was different

I wish there were opportunities to float to a different unit at least once.

Advice

Go with an open mind. Even if you get placed in a unit that you are not passionate about, try your best to learn and participate as much as you can. Also, network!
