    Congratulations! This will be a great experience for you. I am a new grad and wouldn't be as comfortable as I am now without my extern experiences. In answer to your question, no I was not allowed...
  3. I start next week any advice for new grad

    I suggest shadowing for a few hours on each unit. Checking out your potential co-workers and environment may make the decision to go to (or stay far away from) one of the units. Good
