I don't have any work experience in the medical field. What do you think of the bullet points I've written under my clinical experience though?

"Did you work on any projects there? What was the focus of your learning plans?" Can you please give me examples of these? Thank you.

My cumulative gpa is 3.4. I don't know if that is high enough for hiring managers.

Thanks for the tips! Can you please tell me what I should write instead of listing my skills? Sorry, I'm very lost. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am required to choose my top 3 choices for my preceptorship this coming October 2014. So far, I have been in long term care and in a gyne/colorectal surgical unit. This September, I am going to vascular surgical unit and to be honest, I don't know what to expect from the unit. I know that I do not want to do long term care as it would not prepare me for the national exam. However, I liked my 14-week clinical experience in the gyne/colorectal surg unit. I like the fast turnover of patients (usually around 2-7 days). I was able to do skills that I have learned from our foundations course. Also, I personally enjoy learning about GI diagnoses and its anatomy and physiology. I would not mind getting a preceptorship there. So, I can't choose as to where to go for my preceptorship. I have been searching up about PACU and NICU. I thought of PACU because I love giving my patients the comfort they need after surgery, which is very similar to what I did in my gyne/GI clinical. To give y'all more of a background, I just finished my maternity and pediatric courses I got B- for both courses which I feel like is not sufficient, if I were to go to NICU. I really liked the L&D component of maternity. However, I realized that there is loads of new information that I have to learn about maternity. I would like to do neonate care but I am scared of the fact that I won't have any peds experience going into my preceptorship ( If I do get NICU) As you can see, I am just very confused and indecisive. I would love to hear from LPN/RN's who work/have worked in NICU or PACU! Any suggestions about other units would be great too. Thank you

Thank you. Yes, I mean physically.

I'm a 20 years old female. I currently have spot in Bow Valley College for the LPN program. I would like to hear from anyone who started as an LPN and bridged to be a RN. If you could please share what you had experienced after you graduated up to becoming an RN. I'm also curious about the starting wage of an LPN and how light or heavy work do LPN's have to deal with. Thank you
