I understand there will be required hours in required settings but if you had to do it all over what extras would you do? Radiology?, ER? what?

Radiology is a biggie - at least for me - I would have liked to have spent more time there.

I'll tell ya, I may not be able to really read a CXR or KUB as a new grad (my program, like most others it seems, didn't really delve into this); however, I can read a radiology report like no one else! LOL

I was asking an FNP this the other day. In regards to xrays, she said "We go over them, but you don't learn enough to read them."

Sad.
