RRC 护理毕业生 Chantal Fortney 和 April Graham 与即将进入高级实习的 RRC 护理学生进行了交谈。当他们开始向高级实习生过渡到注册护士时，他们讲述了自己的故事并分享了“他们希望有人告诉他们”的信息。

From classes to Senior Practicum

They spoke of how “building a relationship with your preceptor” is fundamental and takes effort. One tip was to have a five minute debriefing at the end of each practicum shift to help define and work towards a positive working relationship. It is important to set your expectations, boundaries, and have the preceptor assess your skills. An integral piece of advice was to know your facility’s policies and standards. Learn the routines on the unit. “Think of yourself still as a student and try to absorb as much as you can. The practicum RN is there to support you.” April reflected on the first days of senior practicum, when she was still getting used to three twelve hours shifts in a row in her rural hospital setting. She said it’s a good idea to do a few “shadow” shifts and even spend some time shadowing the unit clerk to truly understand how to be efficient in the specific setting. She said in those first shifts, you are learning and transitioning into “who you are as a nurse”.

Chantal shared an experience from one of her first days on her acute medical unit, observing an overwhelming wound dressing change. Her reflection was: “I don’t know if I can do this”. Through perseverance, she later commented that during the last weeks of her 3 month practicum, she had learned to trust her gut instincts. She observed an acute situation and anticipated all of the actions the interdisciplinary team should have been taking to help the client.她发现自己“像护士一样思考”，并为自己批判性分析和预测护理影响和干预措施的能力感到自豪。

A strong message to the current students was “90% of what we get tested on in the BN program, we should still do”. For example, when administering medications, don’t take them out of the packages until you get to the bedside. Safety checks are extremely important, every time you give medications.

Although you may only be at your practicum site for three months, it may be a place that you would like to work after the experience.尚塔尔和阿普丽尔强调要花时间建立联系。他们告诉学生要努力去了解工作人员和单位经理。

他们还发现了有关单元中其他学科的更多信息。他们谈到了通过咨询这些学科来为客户辩护，以及了解你的范围是多么重要。例如，实习生不能签署医生的医嘱。花时间了解所涉及的文书工作和图表对于熟练掌握至关重要。

Through sharing of stories and humour, the RRC graduates talked about adjusting to twelve hour night shifts. Their bodies had to adjust to being functional through the night, and then attempting to sleep in the day. When one works long night shifts and has children at home, those days must be organized ahead of time.开始上夜班时的一些建议可能是前一天晚上熬夜，并尽可能长时间地睡懒觉，或者另一种策略可能是在下午上班前睡很长时间。 When sleeping after the night shift, make sure your phone is turned off, and you have no distractions.

从高级实习到成为研究生护士

As the required shifts for senior practicum come to an end, the entry to practice Registered Nurse can prepare to take the RN licensure exam. April and Chantal both agreed it is best to take your time to study for this exam. They advised buying the books, and practicing writing NCLEX style questions.

在完成实习轮班之前，请询问您的经理，如果将来需要，他们是否可以为您提供参考。 They spoke of preparing for interview questions that that might arise during the job search process.

Having experience with twelve hour shift work, the former RRC students fully understand the importance of self care.他们建议在每次轮班结束时检查您的 MARR，以确保一切都记录在案，以及区分工作和个人生活通常很重要。

They said once you are hired somewhere, even if it’s the same place as your practicum experience, take a full orientation. It is important to learn the role in which you will be working from the perspective of new employee and not only a student.

April 和 Chantal 分享了一些挑战，例如学习作为护士进行授权，以及咨询医生为患者辩护。他们分享了不断开发工具来维持组织的重要性，例如工作表以及将所需的设备放在制服的口袋里。

The Students entering their senior practicum valued the information provided by Chantal and April. Thank you to these two graduates of the RRC BN Nursing program for taking the time to share their experiences, and advice.

第三次冲刺结束和我们的巴西 BIT 学生继续给人留下深刻印象。 BIT Space Development’s overarching goal is the delivery of gamified 360-degree panoramas, but its framework’s success hinges on the open-ended set of integrated games and activities that it will house and launch.
