Clinical schedules

[Ginyer]

What kind of clinical schedules does everyone have? Im in my first semester so its only 7:30 to 12:30 Tues and Wed. We start clinicals end of March. This summer we start our 8 hour clinicals (6:30 to 2:30 I think) until our last semester when we have 12 hour clinicals.

This is my second semester, first clinical semester, will do an 8 hour shift (7am-3pm) every Sunday. First 8 weeks in OB, Nursery, L&D. Then last 8 weeks in PEDS.

Did my first day last weekend. Learned alot and for the first time I feel like a nurse. Spend most of the day observing PKU's, HEP B vaccinations, Bilirubins...did some minimal assessment of mothers, and just learned the floor routine. I hope to do more hands on this weekend. Also got to observe a DR perform two circumcisions...not as bad as I thought...
