Nursing Job Shadow Day Program

SUNY Upstate Medical University is pleased to offer students a chance to explore nursing in a dynamic clinical setting.

Each Shadow Day participant will be paired one-on-one with a health care professional in one of the following nursing fields:

• Ambulatory Surgery & Procedures - Outpatient Procedures
• Cardiovascular Services - Heart and Blood Vessels Conditions
• Emergency Services
• Medicine Services
• Kidney and Lung Related Conditions
• Neuroscience Services - Brain and Spinal Cord Conditions
• Orthopedics - Bone Related Conditions, Pediatrics Services - Infant & Child Related Conditions
• Peri-Operative Services - before, during and after surgery.

Participants will interact with the professionals as they perform their normal daily activities. After the job shadowing, participants will attend an afternoon reception to share their experiences and meet Upstate faculty and students.
