Working In a Clinic

[Soliloquy, MSN, APRN, NP]

Can you work in a clinic as a student nurse? I've been going to the ER alot trying to learn blood draw (I hold things differently than people so blood draw's a bit of a challenge for me) so that maybe I'll be more marketable to a clinic. I really would like the experience.

Frankly, in many parts of the U.S., as in my state, you could do darn near anything in a clinic regardless of being a student or licensed "professional." As long as the doctor can validate that you know how to do whatever you're doing and has authorized it you're good to go. It's a sound business strategy as well.
