Hello! I am currently a nursing student going into my last semester which happens to be my preceptorship! I was wondering how important your preceptorship placement is for getting a job later on. For example, if I wanted to work in emergency or ICU after I graduate, would having a community or mental health placement negatively affect my chances of getting a job in those areas? I wouldn't be using as much "hands-on" nursing skills during a community or mental health placement compared to a med/surg placement. You may be wondering: Why don't you just put ER or ICU as your preceptorship choice then? At my school, we rank our top 3 choices and there is a chance we don't get our top choice depending on how competitive it is/number of positions there are.

Sorry for the super late response! Classes, labs, and clinical for 1st semester was pretty straight forward. I had a stable schedule of classes/labs/seminar from Mon-Thurs and a 4 hour clinical day every Friday. 2nd semester was a bit different because we switched between 2 weeks of seminar/lab and then 2 weeks of clinical from Thurs-Fri. Mondays for 2nd semester were always just lecture. Placements are randomized Disclaimer: The program has changed a lot for this upcoming year so my experience might be a bit different

Hi everyone, I started the After Degree program last September and I want to say that Year 1 was awesome! Congrats to those who got in and if you have any questions about the process/program (they are doing a big curriculum change this year, though), I'd be happy to try to help! :)
