I thought about it a little bit but didnt know too much information about it... Do you know anything about the quality of work in urgent care settings? The nighttime pediatrics by me sees adults too (helpful as a patient, but not who I want to treat) Any idea what the salary is in that setting?

The summer I was there they did have externships. The problem I ran into with many of the out of town hospitals is they wanted a commitment during the school year. which is not something that can be done the last semester. You will be spending a great deal of time in clinical (weekdays and weekends)

Pediatrics!! No grown-ups for this girl! I'm going a little nuts waiting to hear from them... and we moved so our mail is being forwarded.. not helping my type A personality wait for a letter in the mail!

I did an extern ship at UMD in the peds cardiology clinic.... lots of people stayed local but I wanted to be near family for the summer. And I got my first job at Hopkins in the Peds ED. good luck. Who is your clinical instructor? I had Dr. Seldomridge for both medsurg clinical (LOVED HER!!)

When I was in nursing school I heard about all of the options when you are a BSN/RN.... well I work in a Peds ED now and would like to know more about my options. I work nights and I would like to be "normal" again. that is not an option where I currently work. I would like to know if anyone has any info on nonclinical jobs or speciality MD office jobs. I'd like to stay working with kids. I'm frustrated with my current job. I like the work but the hours are killing me, i'm starting to see that I would really like somthing that allows me to be ablet to make family functions. I am applying for a PNP program to start in January but I wont be done for a few years (full time school and minimal work is not an option at this time for us) Any tips or info you can give me would be great. Thank you so much.

I graduated from Salisbury's 2nd deg program Dec 07. Let me start by telling you what no one would tell me till i was out of nursing school. Clinicals in school are not like "real" nursing. I am NOT a med surg person and thats what clinicals are... i hated them!! ok but the program.. its intense. The faculity is great. They seem to really take 2nd deg students under their wings, they know we have no life and that we miss people at home (even the people going home to famliy since you never have time to see them) the Ped clincal is a joke... I shared one patient with an other student. since peds are my group of choice i wanted more experence but you can only do so much in 3 semesters. Good Luck

I am I am!! Primary care vs. Acute but there are some classes that are the same!! I cannot wait to the first week in Nov (thats when they told me we would be hearing!!)
