Working at Cooper University Hospital has given me invaluable tools that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I cannot begin to thank you enough for the experience you all gave to me. Thank you and all the staff who helped put this program together. You have made a big difference in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extern 2<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThis summer was such a special experience that I really can&#8217;t thank you all enough. The externship program is a great way to give rising nursing students that extra clinical time they don&#8217;t receive from the school year or our textbooks. I couldn&#8217;t put into words how much this summer actually meant to me. All the staff made me feel like their own, no matter the location, from the OR experience during lifesaving procedures, to the different floors during codes and rapid responses and especially to my own unit, the CCU. All of the nurses and doctors took the time out of their busy schedules to include me in their procedures and to educate me whenever possible on everything and anything they could think of.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3731\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3731\" class=\"wp-image-3731 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/weeklyrounds\/files\/2016\/08\/exterm-1024x475.jpg\" alt=\"exterm\" width=\"700\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/weeklyrounds\/files\/2016\/08\/exterm-1024x475.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/weeklyrounds\/files\/2016\/08\/exterm-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/weeklyrounds\/files\/2016\/08\/exterm-768x356.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/weeklyrounds\/files\/2016\/08\/exterm.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Participants of the 2016 nurse extern program.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Cooper\u2019s very successful eight-week nurse extern program concluded for the summer.
