additional training as part of the programs.
One important
factor to keep in mind is application deadlines. This is important
for Residency programs as well as Externships. Board candidates
are often given the advice, "Concentrate on studying
for the NCLEX and leave the job search until after your exam."
Of course it's important to focus NCLEX
preparation however, residency programs are limited, some
start shortly after graduation and may include exam preparation
as part of the program.
The differences
between Intern/Externships and Residency programs can, and
do, vary greatly between institutions. Start looking into
opportunities during semester breaks well before graduation.
