On another forum is has been stated that US nursing students have the bulk of their nursing experience making beds and doing bed baths.
As an instructor, I would never assign students just to do baths and make beds. Could you please post what your clinical day is like?
In my clinical.
First hour - getting report and completing the nursing assessment and Preconference.
Second Hour- meds and treatments
Third Hour - continue with meds , treatments, chart review
Fourth hour- dinner breaks and coverage
Fifth hour- pm care and more medications treatment
Sixth hours- charting medications
Seventh hour- winding down, completing the above
Eighth hours Post conference
Not too much time for bed baths and bedmaking.
