BSN Student Spotlight: Life as a Student and Nursing Extern in the MICU with Padraic Day


Listen Later

Ever wondered what it’s like to be in a BSN program today? In this episode, I interview Padraic Day, a current BSN nursing student who shares his firsthand experience balancing the classroom, clinicals, and his role as a nurse extern in the MICU. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • What nursing school and clinicals are really like from a student’s perspective.
  • How working as a CNA prepares you for bedside nursing.
  • What it’s like to work as a nurse extern in a Medical ICU (MICU) while still in school.

Whether you’re a nursing student, aspiring nurse, or just curious about the path to becoming a nurse, this episode is packed with relatable insights and tips. And for those of us who have been around for a while, it's interesting to hear what nursing school is like in 2024!
