Re: Can someone help me plz
During nursing school, you have clinical rotations on different units working with different patient populations and conditions. These rotations usually involve one or two days a week on the floor for several weeks. A general unit (med/surg), orthopedics, neuro, cardiac, geriatric, oncology, pediatric, maternity, psych, ICU might be places you'd be a student nurse at for a few weeks at a time. Most schools only have a day or two of observing for OR nursing and outpatient nursing roles. For highly specialized units, like Neonatal ICU or Bone Marrow Transplant, you may or may not have opportunities to observe or work there as students. RN programs may or may not have a nursing home rotation.
So you do get lots of exposure to different inpatient areas of nursing.
Another way to get more exposure is to get a job in a hospital as a float nursing assistant. Float staff are assigned to whatever units are in need, so they have to opportunity to work on many different units and with many different patient types with a wide variety of conditions.
