Nursing Externship.

Hello,

I don't know exactly if I am posting in the right area (perhaps, this should be in the students section but still couldn't find an exact location to put it). Posting it here though, because I am assuming that many of you are already nurses and might be helpful to me.

I'm onto my 3rd semester of my BSN nursing program....and desperately looking for a externship, except those things are SO hard to get. I am extremely disappointed (at myself and the situation) because I've had 2 externship interviews and have gotten no call backs (I know I didn't get the position). I am feeling awfully discouraged at this point.

I know that even if I don't get an externship, I will be a nurse no matter what...but just the thought that I was so close to getting one and the fact that I could get a job so much easier if I did get one.

Has anyone been in my shoes or similar situations? How hard was it to get an externship (if you ever had one) and what did you do if you had interviews but didn't get the position for the externship?

Please help me out, would greatly appreciate it!!! Thank YOU!
