Are there certain areas that do not accept job shadowing students?
Yes. Patient care areas that serve high-risk patients do not accept job shadowing students regardless of your level of education or training. Some examples of high-risk areas include (but are not limited to): Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Adult Crisis Unit (ACU), Surgical or Interventional Procedure areas, Pre-Operative and Post- Anesthesia Care Units, Hematology and Oncology, Transplant, and Labor and Delivery Units. Shadowing applications for all other areas are subject to manager approval.
