“This job gave me an opportunity to gain confidence in skills that I would need for nursing as well as gave me lots of exposure to patient-client interactions. I felt much more prepared for clinical as I had seen a lot of different devices, dressings, tubing, etc. used before. I got experience in a hospital setting as a CNA without having to do the certification, but instead having done one semester of clinical my sophomore year. I liked being able to see a variety of situations and being able to watch the process nurses went through so I was constantly learning. SUPER flexible with summer jobs and staying casual during the school year (2 shifts a month) to keep your foot in the door. ”

“I loved working with the patients, learning more nursing skills, and being able to practice them. My preceptor was also helpful and there for me every step of the way. She was a knowledgeable teacher.”
