Summer Externship
Summer Externship is a program offered by various hospitals and centers here in Quebec that allows every students who passed their second year in Nursing to work in a milieu where they can gain experience, enhance their skills and learn from different health professionals.
I decided to apply for this program for these reasons:
1. I want to practice my skills so that I will be prepared for the next semester
2. Experience
3. I have nothing to do during the summer. I don’t want to stay at home, watch dramas, read novels and do household chores for the rest of the summer. I also can’t go anywhere because I don’t have money.
4. I need money. I get paid for doing the externship :D
Anyway, I’m going to work in a geriatric center (1h30 min by bus and 20 by car). I have an orientation this coming Thursday and I’m so excited. Long term facilities are a lot different from hospitals so I’m looking forward to this externship.
