Externship Process for BSN Students?

I'm in the process of completing pre-req's towards nursing (BSN) at Adelphi, and I'll start clinicals in September of 2009. Would it be possible to apply for externships now, or do I have to wait until I start clinical classes for more experience? Also, what's the pay like for externships, hospital recommendations, etc.? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe that all the hospitals in the NY area required you have completed fundamentals and Med-surg1 before you do an externship, you would really be at a loss without even the basic skills and the experience probably not be an effective teaching and learning experience

Hi Maryann,

I know you said you attend Adelphi as a second degree nursing student, and I have a few questions about the prereqs. If I remember correctly, you responded to one of my other posts saying it'll take you about three years to complete your BSN. Is this because it takes a full year to complete the prereqs? When I was applying, I spoke to someone in the nursing department and was under the assumption it would only take one semester for all prereqs to be completed (I haven't taken any). I have a meeting with the nursing department in early January and am a bit concerned this program is going to take me longer then I thought. Any input would be great. Thanks so much.
