As I approach graduation I was ranting and raving about some of the clinical rotations I have been through. Anyone have any good stories? I don't really want to hear advice on how to get along with people or what to expect in the real world...I just thought it would be interesting to hear what other people have experienced. So far St V's was the very best experience. The staff there treated the students as if they were actually living, breathing people and included us in on actual nursing. The staff at OHSU acted like we were slime growing on the wall. My favorite was when I was charting there and the charge nurse took a moment to stop shoveling food in her mouth to bark "You, outta here, no students at the front desk" Even though there were 5 computers open and the RN's were extremely busy leafing through People magazine.
Thanks for the rant!
