Anyone got a job as a student nurse extern at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC? I did and I wanting to talk to others that have too.

Is anyone a nurse and a firegfighter? I really would love to try both. I am about to enter nursing school, but I have been riding along with the fire dept. and I love it. If anyone does both, I would love to hear about their experiences.

I volunteer in the ER at Grady. I am done with nursing school in May, then I might work in the ER.

I go to school in Atlanta at Mercer University. I am living in Queens for the summer. I am so excited for this externship

I went already. Whats your name? My name is Matt Fisher.

I have no idea honestly. I live in atlanta and I am going to to NYC in 9 days to check out the hospital. I start my externship june 7. The nurse recruiter is very nice.

1st semester you have about 6 hrs per week plus lab time that is about 4 hours per week for the first half of the semester. Right now, for second semester we have two clinicals, one for med surg and one for mental health. those range from 6-8 hours e...

There is no option really on who you get. We have lecture all together for all the classes. During clinical you will have a clinical professor, which will be chosen by the staff based on where you live.

My name is Matt Fisher. I dont have a family, but I know people that do in the program. It is doable. But, just know there will be times that you will be busy 8-5 monday through friday.

You can. I took mine at GSU. Mercer is a great school, you should come here

Nope. I am going on the 18th

Here is the email she sent me Hi Matt, All that you heard is true..especially the part about the being a great instructor..ha-ha. I am very flexible, so please check your calender and let me know what works and I'll go ahead and get you scheduled. (A...

I found one for 55 bucks for 2 hours. I found a lady in Roswell that other GBCN and GSU students have used. She is very flexible too.

Congrats boodleone! I got my letter. They only offered some loans i could take out. No aid.

Congrats on Mercer! I will see you in the Fall. By the way, you do need a PDA of some type. I got an ipod touch this weekend.

I saw that too. It kind of freaked me out. This is the first year the program is only 2 years. My name is Matt Fisher. Whats yours?

I bet you are either working at Atlanta Medical or Emory Midtown. I volunteered at Grady and I know that all the hospitals down there are awesome. I hope I can follow in your footsteps and work downtown when I graduate.

Thanks for the input! Where are you going to work when you get out?

I am taking it next summer at GPC. You dont have to take it before

That would be great. :) I hope she is more sane this summer. If she is, maybe it wont be as bad.

There is no physics part.

I am. a 4 bedroom 2 bath is 2,500 a semester

yep. sorry, i didnt see what you meant. They said they will help you find loans that will cover everything.

well, i think they said they will offer a way to get as many loans as you need. Mercer gave me $0 in free money
