Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC

“Being able to experience the average day of a Registered Nurse (RN) was so helpful to see. This experience allowed me to work 1 on 1 with a nurse and she was able to share so much valuable information I hadn't learned in school.”

“Getting to be in the hospital and follow a nurse through what a full shift entails really helped me understand what will be expected of me when I enter the workforce. I learned vital information that I would not have learned through classes or clinical experiences. Learning how different nurses handle their patient assignments helps you to develop your own routine for caring for patients. You get to figure out what works for you and what techniques you will want to utilize when you become a nurse in a year or so.”
