DNP application question (please help)

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what "clinical experience" means in regards to having it on your CV? The University I am applying to for my DNP says this:

  • Work Experience
  • Clinical Experience
  • Research Experience
  • Leadership Involvement (including board/committee participation)
  • Awards and/or Honors
  • Publication(s)

Do they mean SCHOOL clinical experience? And if so, what do I include? I assume everyone in nursing school has the same kinds of clinicals right? OB, psych, med surg, etc?

Im sorry if this is obvious, I guess Im just nervous about applying and want everything to be perfect. :)

Normally this would be professional clinical experience: where you have worked as a nurse, a cna/ma, emt, medic, etc. If you haven't had any professional experience, perhaps you can include your nursing clinical rotations.

Thank you !

I thought that is what was meant by it but was unsure because it is listed separately from 'work experience'

Some places like to separate out clinical and non-clinical work experience as well as volunteer experience.
