Hi Besaangel! Thanks for responding.
Congrats to you on your internship. Which unit will you be training on?
I'm currently an Lpn in a bridge program. I was torn between applying for a nurse tech position or an LVN position to utilize more skills. What is your background? Do you have any experiences prior to applying?
I did a M/S internship on 7N in 2010 then worked there for a year. I absolutely hated M/S; I am now in ICU nurse & love it. The 7N manager at that time was awful, but I learned a tremendous amount from some of the well-experienced nurses there.
Now that I have some other hospitals to compare S&W to, I can say that S&W is an organized system in regard to policies & procedures which is important to a new grad.
At that time, the M/S internship was 10-14 weeks. The length depended on individual nurse ability. I did 10 weeks and was prepared; but I saw others do longer. There was no grief if more time was needed.
Be prepared, Temple is an unexciting small town.
