well, i did apply to the externship. we get paid for it and also get 3 credit hours through our college. i will be traveling about 70 miles to get there, but i don't have kids and my husband is on the road alot. i am very excited i talked with the director of our nursing program and she told me all about it. we will be given a checklist of things we can perform and not perform on the job. (basically stuff we did in checkoff's and nothing past our range, which is fine with me). i think it was the right thing for me, i have no doubt in my mind that this is edzactly what i want to do, so the externship just prepares me a little more. i have been told more than once it is not something i would regret, it builds confidence, and you are stronger going into the last year.

I am trying to decided what to do. We get the option to do 320 hrs of externship this summer. Half of our class says no to it, they are going to enjoy their last free summer, but the other half is going to do it. I personaly have already signed up everywhere I can. I think it's a great opportunity. I was just wondering what all of you think of the idea?
