suggestions for interning with a surgeon

Published

Just received my RN license (reactivated after an 8 year absence) I am looking for a part time job but have been offered an internship with a surgeon that I know.

We have an appointment in a couple of weeks to go over some details..off the bat it was suggested that I can shadow his office RN and possibly shadow in the OR .

I am flexible about how many hours I can intern, obviously I would like to learn as much as possible..I can work registry on the weekends and intern three or four full days during the week..I was initially thinking a 12 week internship would be great. He will be providing me with an excellent recommendation to a couple of other surgeons for possible future employment (I'm relocating).

Are there any suggestions from what kind of parameters we should set about the internship? This is self-created with the surgeon, it is not a formal hospital internship or anything like that..but this will be my first experience so I'd like to cover bases

thank you

Curious, what role is he having you learn? Did you come originally from OR when you last were working?
