It was an opportunity to build character and gain necessary leadership skill for my future in nursing. The summer focused on educating high school students about nursing as a career. Education is a very important skill as a nurse, and I like show I could gain this skill outside of a clinical or hospital setting.
What I wish was different
I honestly had the best summer of my life! The organization pays for your transportation, room, and board. The stipend was on top of all this. I cannot think of anything I would change.
Advice
I would say that it is really important to make time and a space for yourself to relax a little everyday. The days are long with a lot of activities, but it is a blast.
