Buffalo area shadowing programs?

Published

Good morning everyone,

I will be going to a local community college to get a nursing degree and I was wondering if any local Buffalo, NY area hospitals do any type of a shadowing program. I would love to stay a whole day if possible but even if its just for a few hours, that would be great also. Just something to see what its like. My mom is an administrative nurse and has been for as long as I can remember, but I wanted to get a taste of emergency medicine as well.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for reading!

I would check with the college....they will have contacts at their clinical sites. Are you going to ECC or NCCC ?

Ill be going to NCCC. I cant get into the nursing program this semester, but I'm going in as a liberal arts student and I'm planning on taking some general education and anatomy classes. I'm studying anatomy now to dive in.

NCCC is a great school. There are 2 major hospital systems in Buffalo, Kalieda Heath and the Catholic Health system. You may want to check with each systems DON, they may be able to schedule some shadow time. I don't know if you will be successful in attempting to shadow due to privacy regulations (HIPAA) until you are in a Nursing program. Good luck :nurse:
