I started my externship for school, and finished my first couple hundred hours. Although, according to these definitions, I should have been on an internship. My school calls it externship, so just deal with it. ;)
Let me get this straight for those who are unaware.. I honestly DO NOT CARE but everyone asks me the difference, so I'll tell you.I'm CPR certified! (Choking? Can't breath? I CAN HELP YOU!)
An extern is usually part-time during the year or full-time for a designated period. Externs are often students at an earlier stage of their training program, and the externship activities are usually more supervised and involve less skilled activities or only certain activities of the profession compared to internships.
Interns are typically at or near the end of their training program. An internship is the "bridge" between the training program and professional life. The intern is supervised, but is expected to engage in the entire range of professional activities that are expected of a professional.
I'm radiology certified! (I can now officially take x-rays, legally)
All I have left in school is admins, then I'm off to my second externship to get hired (hopefully!)
Life's pretty dang legit right now.
