How Often Do/Did You Shadow Before School

Hello! Did many of you shadow a lot before school? Did some of you not shadow at all? Let me know your experiences!

I’ll share my own story. I am a volunteer at a local hospital on a med/surg floor, and I do 1x4hr shift per week, and it had been incredible for me to see nursing as practiced directly. Sometimes, I get to shadow a nurse performing skills (e.g. foley catheterization, UGPIV). It’s great, and had helped solidify my interest in nursing.

Let me know y’all’s experiences! :)
