Hello all

I need advice I am a first year NS in the ADS program. My clinical instructor told me I could job shadow in the ER if I would like to. What do you think???????

:confused:

Do you want to, or no?

I did that and loved it. I hated the idea of working ED, but it was great to see what goes on down there- especially when I'd get admissions, and knew how crazy it can get :)

Specializes in Med-Surg.

What a great opportunity!

If this is something you are interested in, or even if you are not, I'd take it for the learning experience that it is. As the wise "Old Goat" said, at worst you will walk away from it knowing the ED is not for you but knowing more about how things work in the ED and where some of your patients are coming from. On the other hand, if you like it, you will have the chance to network, gain experience, and have a leg up on the competition if you are looking for an internship or new grad position in an ED.

On a side note, Xtxrn, would you consider adding Wise to your description =)

You're sweet....let's see how rusty I am at this care plan business first :D I did them as my primary job for years, but different wording; I'm considering getting a current book so I can help students better :up: Gotta wait until the next disability check, though :)

Thank you all! I am going to go for it!! ED is where I would like to be:) I guess I just need input from others. None of the other students where asked which is puzzling because I am by far am not the smartest in the bunch.
