Amount of clinicals?

Published

I'm just curious about how clinicals work in different programs. How many times a week/month/semester do you go, and for how long each day?

2 twelve hour shifts per week, usually Fri - Sat. during instructors regular shifts

Two days per week, 7 hours per day for 7 weeks, then we switch rotations and do it all over again. Clinicals start the second week of the program.

Last half of last semester is a one-on-one preceptorship for 7 weeks. We work the shifts our preceptor works.

For my first semester we only had four 5 hour shifts in the nursing home but next semester for Med-Surg we have to complete 96 clinical hours. Every school is different!

In our first year, we did one day a week from 7am-1pm. 2nd year we're doing 2 days a week from 7am-3pm.

The school I want to go to is a diploma program and it has 2 8-hr clinical days per week for all 5 semesters.
