   bamadebRN replied to JourneyRN's topic in Alabama

   I would suggest doing your preceptorship in an ICU at UAB or St. Vincent's. That way you at least have a foot in the door. I have heard good things about Brookwood also, but they were not an option for my class to do our preceptorship at. I don't ...
