I loved being able to work with the nurses and learn new skills. I was able to figure out where I wanted to work when I graduate.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have shadowed other units within the hospital.
Advice
Even if you don't get place on the unit you wanted, this is still a GREAT experience and you learn so much from it.

Nurse Extern
June - August 2021 • Danville, PA
What I liked
I gained experience in the nursing field which I will apply not only working there as a nursing assistant but also working as a registered nurse upon graduation.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could have picked up more than 32-36 hours in a week.
Advice
I would recommend this experience to anyone in nursing school to become a registered nurse and to make sure you apply to the floor on which you would like to work for the best chance to work their following graduation and passing of the NCLEX.

What I wish was different
nothing
Advice
Ask, ask, ask ! The staff loves to teach future nurses new skills and bring the experience out of the text book. They are a great resource to learn from.
