"Thank you for expressing interest in shadowing at Indiana University Health – Riley Children’s Hospital!  The shadow experience will exclusively be on our MedSurg units with one of our Riley nurses and is a great way to gain insight into the day in the life of a Riley Nurse and decide if it is the right career path for you. It will provide you with an opportunity to observe our acute care units and culture and learn first-hand what being a nurse is truly like and assess if this is the right career for you.

By shadowing a nurse on one of our acute care units, you can gain an appreciation of the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to be successful. It will also give you a better understanding of the challenges and rewards that you can expect to face when pursuing a career in nursing. Additionally, you will get to experience the personal satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference in the lives of the children you care for. It is important to take the time to properly research the culture of the facility and unit you would like to work for, and this opportunity will give you the chance to do just that.

Shadowing with us will also give you the opportunity to learn valuable techniques and the opportunity to ask questions and solicit advice from those who already excel in the nursing profession at Riley.  Shadowing can also help you determine which nursing specialty they want to consider post-graduation. The shadowing process gives you an opportunity to narrow your niche.

If you are a New or May Grad and want to shadow nurses across the Riley MedSurg units, the first step is to visit our website and upload your resume. Once we have received your information, we will send you an invite with the details of the shadow experience.
