Hello allnurses I am new to this website and wanted to ask something. I am finishing up my nursing school and will begin to start studying for my nclex but I have run into a problem. I did not have a good experience in preceptorship and have determined working as a CNA and as a Nursing student that bedside nursing in the hospital is not for me. The experiences I've had working with staff in the hospital and the work you do as a nurse is not what I invisioned coming in. What I've noticed looking at jobs is if you want to work outside the hospital you need 1-2 years of experience in medsurg or telemetry first and I was wondering if there is a non traditional way for new grads to get experience as a RN without doing one of those floors. Thank you Jacob
