We
already had our time to treat the immense demanding curricula a nursing school
provides. Nursing students are often familiarized with it at the very beginning
of their journey. Information usually being provided is strictly covering what
the school curricula involve. It does not provide hints on possible courses or
extracurricular activities a nurse-to-be has to follow in order to get the most
of his/her studying years. A nursing student might consider going for a nurse
related extracurricular activity that will be efficient in terms of time
management.
What might count as a productive extracurricular activity for a nursing student?
o Initiating one or more community
service projects
o Job shadowing
o Volunteer
Why should one consider these extracurricular activities once he or she is studying to become a nurse?
Well, first of all, nursing requires a
lot of good will and dedication. It is that kind of profession you need to put
all your physical and emotional efforts into action in order to excel in terms
of human support and service. This is very important to be mentioned. Once you
start your nursing studies you might not be properly aware of the Endeavour
this job will require. Getting involved in these pre – professional engagements
(extracurricular activities) might be a good and healthy method in order for
you to become familiar on what it is expecting you during your professional
engagement in the near future.
Secondly, once you get engaged into
extracurricular activities as a nurse, you are practicing or at least getting
hints and directions on how you will manage your professional activities in the
near future. For sure you will be
practicing within your nursing course, but why not have a pre- rehearsal
opportunity and serve the community as well?

Embracing Technology and Change
We have been observing and asking many
nursing students whether they ever engaged themselves into these
extracurricular activities during the course of their studies and how the
overall impact was. Their general feedback has been positive. Almost all of
them report that nursing extracurricular activities did:
✓ Support their general behavior amidst
hospitals or health care centers
✓ Improved their general time management
abilities
✓ Increased general knowledge on
different topics in terms of nursing or medicine area
Taking the positive feedback into
consideration, we advise nursing students to allocate time and energy for one
of the main extracurricular activities mentioned at the very beginning of this
article.
Initiating one or more community service projects
Usually, there are a lot of gaps of
information in terms of health issues when you start asking and observing
within the members of a community. There is a wide range of programs you might
take into consideration to bring up in order to facilitate and improve your
community information and awareness in regards to health issues such as:
o Anemia symptoms
o Blood pressure symptoms
o Vision and hearing
screening
o Overall training on occupational health
hazards (hospital or similar health care centers)
o General information in regards to
malicious health issues (different types of cancers, general information on
prevention and possible screening)
o Healthy nutrition diet presentation
o General information on physical
exercise benefits and proper weight level maintenance
o Immunization methods and benefits
o Drug awareness
o Organization and leading of disaster drills
o Drug recovery organizations and
channels of communication
o Sexually transmitted diseases
o New parents orientation programmed
o Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
information
o Birth defects information
o Risk of using steroids
o Risks of being exposed into sexual
abusing environments
o Eating disorders
o Preschoolers and students’ general
information on health
As you can see from the above list
there are a lot of programs you can be part as a future nurse. By getting
engaged in these programs you can contribute with your knowledge in order to
increase your community awareness on one or more of these areas of concern, and
at the same time, you will have the opportunity to understand what being a
nurse means. Continuous endless support to our community in need!
Job shadowing
Hospital offices are probably equipped
with a Human Resources representative who is responsible to accept requests for
employment or even job shadowing. In case you are a nursing student you might
consider applying for a job shadowing position in one of the hospitals or
health care centers near your residence territory.
Job shadowing implies that you will be
assigned to a nurse. You will be following him/ her in each task performed
within the shift. You will be there taking notes on what will be considered as
new information and knowledge to you. Also, you will be frequently practicing
or dealing with his/ her tasks into his/ her direct supervision. Job shadowing
schedules might differ from program to program, but is generally conceptualized
to be widen within the necessary time frame to observe and gain a basic set of
skills that might help you during the first period of your future employment.
Job shadowing supports a near practical insight of the duties you will be
holding and completing once you will start your nursing professional career.
Job shadowing is one of the encouraged
learn through practice methods that a nurse might apply as an extracurricular
activity during his/ her nursing studies. It is also suggested since one might
widen their sphere of acquaintances and influence that might support them at
the moment when they will be holding their degree, ready for the employment
moment.
Volunteer
Volunteering is one of the most
important and beneficial instruments, a to-be nurse might take into
consideration whenever looking for extracurricular activities during nursing
studies. There a number of organizations that are already established within
each city or district area. These organizations are always looking for
individuals ready to contribute with their knowledge or specific abilities in a
certain area of interest.
Once you have already started your
nursing studies you are considered to have already been exposed to general
information in regards to health conditions, maintenance and general security.
Thus, you might find yourself able to contribute as a volunteer any time your
studies are allowing you in terms of time constraints.
Volunteering might require you to get
involved in a given health care centre or a specific community in order to
support the already established staff with a range of tasks they are holding in
order to support that group of individuals. This approach is highly suggested
once you are about to start an extracurricular activity since it will increase
your general awareness in terms of the good will and sacrifice you have to do
when you will become a nurse in the near future.
The Bottom Line
Regardless of the extracurricular
activity you will decide to choose during your nursing studies, the impact will
be positive. You will be given the chance to contribute with all your
individual and academic tools in order to facilitate and support, and in the
meantime, you will widen your area of knowledge and your sphere of influence as
well.
A nursing student’s approach to one of
these extracurricular activities should always be a win – win approach.

During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Holly Woodgate, on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr James on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr James prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more itching , pain on me anymore as Dr James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. the result came out negative.
