My clinical group last semester was 7. This semester, I believe, is 9. We can choose our clinical day, but we can't choose our clinical group. Honestly I kind of like that as it's made me branch out and get to know some other students. We're not bffs or anything, but I'm liking the people that I'm slowly getting to know.
About how many people are in each clinical group? My friend and I got accepted into nursing school and we want to be in the same clinical group, and want to know on average how.many people are in each one
It depends on the school. My class was split into two groups of 6-7 each. We didn't get to choose which group we were in.
You will have no control on what group you are in and if you get to be in a group with your friend and it will more than likely change each semester/quarter. Ours was set up with 7-8 per group each quarter and we changed instructors and who was in our group. There was one instructor in charge of assigning the groups for the quarter. The one time I put in a request to change groups was ONLY granted because she had put me with the same clinical instructor and same floor as the previous two quarters (she didn't realize that).
You usually don't get to choose your group. The most choice I've seen, over the years in a few different nursing programs, was getting to submit to the clinical coordinator your preferred sites for clinical (in "first, second, third" ranked order) and the faculty would attempt to accommodate the requests as much as possible, but nothing was guaranteed.
