flipflop

Hello, Futurenewgrad. Have you done your preceptorship yet? If you are just starting clinicals try to find out what you can do to do some time in the ER. The best way to find out is to experience it yourself.

I agree with Sun here. Put one line on about your rotations (the people hiring know you've done it all or you would not be an RN). For example the line may read Student nurse, Hogwarts U Completed x hours of clinical rotations in the following settings: med/surg, peds, etc, etc. Don't let it take up too much space...

Hi Mom2chaos, Thank you for your comment. With a little luck maybe I'll end up in a similar situation to yours. :)

Hello all, I am a long time lurker and first time poster to this site. recently, i was assigned my nursing preceptor ship and was disappointed in my assignment. I thought perhaps someone could show me the bright side of things here because what i am assigned is so far from what i wanted to do for preceptorship. I have been assigned to a skilled nursing center. I looked up the floor online and it looks like it focuses on sub acute/ rehabilitative issues. From what i can tell it seems like i am going to a nursing home type of environment. Originally, i wanted/requested multiple times to do ER. I'm trying to look forward to doing my preceptorship but all that i can think of is that i don't think i'm going to get to practice any of the care skills related to emergencey/acute care that i wanted to learn and practice.. I don't know what skills i will get to do on this floor but i'm wondering if it will be anything interesting... Beyond this. Will precepting in a nursing home translate to experience i can use after school (I do NOT want to work in a nursing home)? Anyway, i don't know if anyone else had to precept in a similar environment or not but i am looking for something to look forward to. I have searched the forum a couple tomes on this topic and didn't find anyone else who's done this.
