Nurse Externships

[nursebucky]

I am a student nurse here in Atlanta (beginning this Fall) and often see job ads to be a Nurse Extern.

Did anyone ever do this type of work while in Nursing school? Did it help? Will you be privy to some great learning experiences or will you do the same job as a CNA/PCT?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

I am starting my orientation on June 2nd for my nurse externship. I was excited about it before, but now after reading all the replies I am even more excited!!! I am sure this is going to be an invaluable learning experience.
