@GRNTea: Thanks for the advice. I will be working around 15-30 hours a week. Once again, thanks so much for a thorough response. @Tyvin: I will be in Telemetry Unit.

Dear Nurses, I have been so much in love with this site. I come a lot to read the minds of practicing nurses especially now that I am on a summer break. I have a question and seeking advice. I have never worked in the hospital before. The only hospital close to me had like 4 open position for coops and by the time I had to sign up for an interview all sports were full. I work though with people with disabilities but missing hospital experience apart from several clinicals that I have been going through while in nursing school. I am now going for my last semester in the fall. It scares me that I am graduating in Dec and feels that gap in me, I have the theory but the connection with practical setting, feels its missing. Next semester I will have to do a 6 week practicum ( may be things will get better after that experience). I wanted to ask you, what do you expect from me as student if you were my preceptor? I really want to try to give the best shot I can, any other advice you might think I need to know beofore I go for practicum and how to prepare my self? Thanks for reading.
