I'm a junior nursing student and I am stuck on what to do next summer. I was planning on applying for a nurse extern position at my local hospital, but I also want to go on a medical mission trip to Bolivia my nursing dept. is offering. Problem is the extern position runs may-may (24 hrs a week during summer, 12 hrs a week during school) and the trip is at the end of may. Does anyone know if externs are allowed time off for school-related reasons? The trip is 10 days long. If you had to choose which one would you choose?
