Thank You for your responses. Congratulations ! I was interested more in the format and activities because I was awaiting reponse at the time I posted. I also was wondering if anyone who had ALREADY completed had insight. I will post what I have gathered so far for those who plan to apply to it in the future. - It is a 8 week preceptorship of 2 days a week. - One day includes a lunch and learn seminar where an expert speaks on subject related to nursing care. - Pays 14.50/hr , you are considered a per diem employee and are allowed to work past the 8 week stint according to your availability. - it seems many externs are hired as staff nurses given they have good evaluations and pass their NCLEX hope that helps others.
