  • What are clinicals like in nursing school? What can nursing students expect during clinical rotations?
    I can still remember feeling nervous about nursing school clinicals. I wondered if I would do something that I wasn't supposed to do. I was worried that I might get lost in those large healthcare facilities. I also worried that the other nurses might not like me. Thankfully, I survived clinicals, and you can, too!
    What can you expect during clincials? In my nursing school, we got to experience a variety of clinical settings during our clinical rotations. I got to work in the OR, ER, Med-Surg, ICU, wound care, OB, and more.
    Each semester, our nursing school classes would correspond with our clinical rotations. So, if we were taking maternity that semester, we'd be working on the OB floor, and so on.
    During my last semester, we got to choose our preferred clinical site, and we worked right alongside a nurse during their shift. That was my favorite semester of nursing school clinicals.

    If you get to see a bed side trach/procedure and the physician set up a sterile field and put on her sterile gown, *Don't walk between the physician and the sterile field*
    This one RN pissed off the physician. A student would 100% be kicked out.

    I have been depressed for this last 8 weeks. Our courses are 8weeks long for all programs within the college. I felt like it was disorganized, but did not say anything. They really did not have our clinical experience set up until the course started. I felt like I could not ask my instructor anything, and she seemed to want us to know everything without instruction. I use to love my school and felt like I could trust them until this last 8 weeks.

    So what do you do as a student when you are assigned to a nurse that doesn’t want a student to shadow them? I personally think it will make the student feel like they are walking on pins and needles, and feel very uncomfortable.

    • @NurseNick420
      @NurseNick420 Před 3 lety +9

      Unfortunately, you just gotta truck through it for the time you have to deal with your nurse and be happy when it is over. Most programs will not allow you to request a new nurse to shadow.

    I am currently working on my pre reqs to at least apply for the program at my school and if I take a spring class (a hard class which will be accelerated because the spring semester is so short), I will be able to apply to the program in the fall for next winter. I'm not sure if it is going to work that way but I will see if I'm ready to take the spring class after this upcoming winter semester. I'm kind of scared since I can't verbally speak very well (talking too fast, weird grammar) but I'm gaining more confidence over time and it makes me excited.

      Clinical days are separate from lecture/lab days. In my program, we have a lecture day, lab day, and clinical day. All in the same week lol. Clinicals are basically putting what we learned in the classroom into practice. However, you are working under that professor's license and many of them can be very strict (understandably).

      There's no predicting what a patient might do during clinical. They may puke on you, shit/piss the bed, or squirt blood on you if you are taking out their IV. If bodily fluids of any kind bother you then you're entering the wrong field lol

We just bathed residents at the nursing home, assessed them, and occasionally gave them oral medications. I am in Med-Surg now though and actually will be at my first clinical tomorrow at the hospital. From what I've heard, we will be giving injections/starting IVs in Med-Surg.
