Back at Widener!!
So school is back in session. I'm glad to be back, but another week of break would have been nice. This semester I am taking 17 credits. My clinical rotations this semester are OB and Psych, which are Nursing-360 and Nursing-364 respectively. For the first part of this semester I will be at Cooper University Hospital where I will be completing my OB rotation. I will complete my psych rotation at Belmont Hospital. In addition to these classes I am enrolled in Nursing-363 which is a research class and History-354E which is an online course that focuses on revolutionary America from 1760-1820. So far my classes seem pretty interesting though as expected with history classes there is a lot of reading involved.
I have started to work on resumes to apply for student nursing externship positions at hospitals near Widener and near my house at home. It should be interesting to see which hospitals accept me into their program. For those of you who do no know what an externship involves it usually means that a student nurse will shadow a nurse in a hospital for two months. Not only is it a paying position but it also is a valuable education experience. Most nursing students complete an externship between their junior and senior year. I have been working hard on my resumes and cover letters. I will be bringing them to the CAPS (Career Advising and Planning Services) Office to have them looked over to see if there is anything that could be improved or changed. I will have more updates to come soon!!
