Clinical sites

1. So I am curious, I am just about done with first semester clinical in the LTC setting. I thought it was a great time. Where do you all get to go for your second semester clinicals?

   I think that depends on your program.

   It definitely depends on the program! I have never done LTC, first semester I was on an ortho floor and a cardiac floor. Second semester was med-surg, then OB (L&D/NICU) followed by some time on a pediatric unit.

   First semester was a LTC facility, the second semester and throughout are hospitals for my program

   My school's second semester is med-surg so a general hospital floor as well as OB (L&D and postpartum) for three weeks

   My first semester was med/surg on a cardiac telemetry. Second semester we'll do 5 week rotations between peds, OB, and psych. Over the summer we do preceptorships, units to be determined.

   Definitely program specific. Some of my classmates went to LTC while I never did during my first semester.
   I'm doing Psych, Cardiac/Heart Failure, and Med-Surg during my second semester.

   My spring semester will be OB and Medsurg. My first semester was on a Oncology/Surgical floor.

    I know its all program dependent. I like to hear where other people are going though. Cardiac would be so neat!

    Oncology, med-surg, behavioral hospital, oncology&ace unit (elderly individuals), pedi floor, OB/L&D/nursery/NICU, ICU/ER/PCU, and finally the final semester depends on your previous exams. OB, pedi, ICU, ER are places where you can go if you meet the criteria. Everyone else usually goes to a medsurg or ortho floor.
    
    I would've liked to have done clinical in a LTC facility.
