What does your program call the final class, where you basically do a nurse's job for x amount of hours and she/he is there to guide & help? Ours is called practice elective but our classes always have weird names that don't describe the class (&/or clinical).
Our school doesn't call it anything. It's just the preceptorship. It's not a separate class. All our classes end a month early, and then the last month is precepting fulltime (144 hours).
I wouldn't want to precept in the same area where I'm externing. It would just be more of the same. I want to get that whole "well rounded" thing everyone's always talking about. :chuckle That's why I'm probably going to request Med/Surg for my preceptorship. Although, ICU is mighty tempting after I rotated through last week.
