Need Advice...shadowing

[2bnurseguy_2005]

Ive posted on here previously that I am interested in going into nursing

I will be getting another degree and changing careers. I was wondering what are the procedures to shadow a nurse? (What do I ask if I want to shadow and whom do I call)

I want to make sure this is what I want to do before I begin applying

Do you find that shadowing is helpful? I just have sooo many questions about nursing

I want to eventually go into higher ed and teach

THanks

Can someome please give me some advice on how to shadow? Whom do I ask for and what do I say?

I see hospitals have Volunteer Services but Im unsure if that is whom I call

Good luck shadowing. A lot of places wont allow it due to HIPPA and patient confidentiality.
