With the delta variant getting bad and high chance of vaccine-resistant variants emerging, I am starting to wonder if nursing school clinicals will soon be remote again. I know it will be different for every program, but I cannot contact my future program because they are overwhelmed.
My (non-nursing science major) sister said her college is telling her to prepare for everything to go remote at any second. I'm wondering if anyone has heard similar things from their nursing programs.
I won't start my program until 2022 (not sure if fall or Spring), but I'm trying to get an idea of what it's going to be like so that I'm prepared.
Who was the school hiring for nursing clinical instructors? I gotta add you are better off not learning from those who did not believe in the good of vaccinations. I wonder if this is the nursing educational school for anybody if 1) they were hiring adjunct faculty who did not believe in the science of vaccinations 2) They can't rally enough faculty to teach clinical from their roster of theory teachers....wondering if theory teachers are not current for clinical or trotting out some canned lectures.
And who is going to structure good clinical remote experiences?
I don't want to come across as mean or dissing your educational plans. I wish you luck and hope the school can mobilize some clinical teachers. I know you want to be a nurse badly but....
Are you vaccinated?
1) I never said they didn’t believe in vaccinations 2) not that an explination on their personal story is needed but they each came down with COVID working on a COVID floor at the beginning and switched to virtual teachers because they loved what they did but have lingering complications and cannot risk getting sick again 3)theory teachers are teaching large classes and stretched to the limit as it is due to the rise in students during the pandemic 4) since everything else you said is based on the “not believing in the good of vaccinations” I’ll just leave it all alone and say refer to point #1 5) being vax does not guarantee you will not get COVID and fall sick again … it’s happening
I may be missing something here but how in the world would you do clinicals remotely or online?
Oh I didn’t say it wasn’t a disaster. It’s horrible, basically like a computer game that wasn’t programmed well. Between clinical sites limiting the number of students they’ll accept to teachers not getting vax it’s been rough and I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel yet. Hopefully come November
I'm not sure why you bumped a nearly year old thread to re-ignite an argument you had in this thread unrelated to the OP.
But just for the sake of the vax efficacy discussion. I've been vaxxed and boostered and had covid at least twice, with this second round having a cough and lack of energy that's lingered for about a month now.
To the OP who said they were starting in '22, it seems all clinicals are in person right now. I pray you don't have to resort to online clinical, I did it for my psych rotation and it was horrible. We did 2 hour zoom calls where we did case studies, and they were a complete waste of time.
