(Describe why or why not)
I would recommend this specific shadowing experience to other students in the future.
Chris is a very knowledgeable and experienced RN. He has worked in the ED for almost 10
years now and also serves as a unit educator. Chris helped develop some aspects of the hospitals
computer system and teaches basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
During the shadowing experience, Chris explained everything he was doing to me along with his
rationales. He took the time to make sure I understood his rationales and he answered all of my
questions. I truly enjoyed this experience.
