Hello!I'll be starting Peds clinicals at a local high school soon and was just wanting some input into what shouldbe expected from a nursing student in this type of setting. Is there anything that you especially dislike or like or would like nursing students to do or not during rotations? I'd like to be as prepared as possible and do not want to waste the school nurse's time. Thanks!!
