CCCRN2b, you are right. It was hours of hard work but I feel more confident. I will be graduating in January unfortunately...I have to do NCLEX review which is a part of my program before graduation. I wish you all the best in the nursing world.

My preceptorship experience was great. First, I was on the telemetry floor which is a very busy place to be as a student. I did most of my skills there such as ng tube, iv start, all aspects of medication administration, assessments, Trach suction etc. Gosh! I have seen it all. It was a great experience and I feel more confident to tackle the working world.

Specializes in 5th Semester - Graduation Dec '09!.

I finished my preceptorship in October. It was 150 hours, that is 3 12-hour shifts per week for a little over a month. By the end, I was almost completely autonomous caring for 4 patients. I would still need my preceptor to take out certain meds, but i was the nurse. I was able to administer all my medications without supervision, with the exception of IV push. I did all the admissions and I was in charge of all the discharge teaching, collaboration, consults. It was SOOOOOO awesome. It's ridicules how much I learned during my last rotation before graduating.

One of the most important thing i learned was how the unit as a machine really works. Even as a tech I didn't see the process- how the collaberation between the MD's, case manager, social worker, and the RN works. Plus, it was in a magnet hospital, which was pretty stellar.

Only 20 more days to go till graduation!!!! YAY!

I have three more shifts until the end of my preceptorship in Neuro ICU. It's been an amazing experience. I graduate on December 12th, as well. I can't believe it's almost over. I never thought the day would come...

Congratulations, Everybody! :balloons:
