Spring 2010 Graduates

chuckz, BSN, RN · Dec 28, 2009

I'm an extern in a very busy trauma 1 ER, my immersion for my final semester is a cardiac ICU....I don't have a smiley that represents me. I just want this crap over.

I am done with preceptorship and doing my NCLEX review. Graduation January 30, 2010. I am so excited!

My last clinical with my awesome group will likely be in community health/home health. Probably more med/surg for good measure! They haven't really told us much yet, and everything is always up in the air until the last minute. :uhoh3: Ah well, roll with the program 'til May!

My preceptorship is in ambulatory surgery/perianesthesia. Hoping to learn a lot there!

Graduation will be incredible. Then I can get on with the GN position I just accepted in dialysis!

Sounds just like our program.

What type of clinical areas will you experience during your last semester?

Community rotations.

Does your program have a preceptorship during the last semester? If so, in which area would you like to do your preceptorship?

We do. I asked to be placed in women's health, med-surg, or ER. I have a feeling the majority of my class will get med-surg, which is fine as long as it's not at the same hospital I had during that rotation.

What smilie represents how you feel about starting your LAST semester?

:confused: No one has really told us what we'll be doing and I don't know if I'll make it to graduation without a car. So it's hard to be excited about it right now, unfortunately.

DownSouthDiva · Dec 30, 2009

What type of clinical areas will you experience during your last semester?

We are doing 12 weeks in ER and then the remainder of the semsester will be spent dependent on what the clinical coordinator feels we need to "focus" on..

I just wanted to start a check-in thread for all those heading into their last semester of nursing school and will be finishing up in the Spring 2010 semester.

I am hoping to delve right into the NICU upon graduation, but I'm getting nervous... doesn't seem to be many positions available! I can't wait for my preceptorship this semester! Of course if I'll be doing NICU if I get approved for that area....

~FutureNurse~ · Dec 30, 2009

What type of clinical areas will you experience during your last semester?

CPU, Med/Surg, L&D

Does your program have a preceptorship during the last semester? If so, in which area would you like to do your preceptorship?

Yes! We were allowed to list three, and they put us where they can. We haven't found out where we will be yet. I put: COU, Med/Surg floor, and Peds. I would LOVE to do peds--but it is hard to get a perceptorship for that. So, we will see.

We really only do the preceptorship/leadership & a bunch of community nursing, papers, and projects... but the Fall semester was AMAZING! We did clinical in the CVICU, Neuro ICU, PICU, NICU, ER, OR, and SICU. NEATO!!!!
