Externship!

Published

I just got the email yesterday, after interviewing on Tuesday, that I got accepted for my hospital's externship. I am so excited! I got selected for a rotation known as Outpatient Services, which includes pre-op, post-op, endo, wound care, and pre-admissions. I get to start in the end of May! Yay!

But anyways, anyone have any experience working as an extern? What;s it like? Thanks!

:lol2: :lol2: Congratulations to all those who got externship positions. I also got accepted into the summer externship program ran by my school/hospital, and I even get to go to the hosp near my house. I start in July and it runs till the 11th of August, so I'll only really have one week off from school. But, it is sooooooooooo worth it!! I am beyond excited, for all of us!!!!!!!

I envy you all. I wanted to do a nurse extern program last summer, but they were all 40 hours and I would have had to quit my current job and take a big pay cut, which I could not do financially. Enjoy your externships and I am sure they will benefit you all greatly in your nursing practice.
